dc.description.abstractBovine anaplasmosis (BA) is a hemoparasitic disease of great importance in cattle within the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Control programs for BA require accurate diagnostic assays but validation can be challenging because the true disease status of all animals is frequently not known with certainty. The objective of this study was to estimate the accuracy of assays for detection of Anaplasma marginale infection in lactating dairy cattle of Puerto Rico using Bayesian methods without a perfect reference test. There were 2,331 cattle with complete diagnostic results sampled from 79 herds, and the prevalence of BA was estimated as 22% (95% probability interval [PI]: 19–25%). The sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of a major surface protein 5 competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (MSP-5 cELISA) were estimated as 99% (95% PI: 96–100%) and 89% (95% PI: 87–92%), respectively. The Se and Sp of a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were 67% (95% PI: 60–74%) and 99% (95% PI: 99–100%). The Se and Sp of a card agglutination test were 34% (95% PI: 29–39%) and 99% (95% PI: 99–100%). Area under the receiveroperating characteristic curve for the MSP-5 cELISA was 0.748 (95% PI: 0.71–0.79). The MSP-5 cELISA appears to be the test of choice for screening cattle for subclinical BA based on the high estimated Se, rapidity of results, relative low cost, and ease of standardization.en
