Figure 4. Representative results of the NIE, SsIR, and NIE-SsIR ICT kits, Positive, positive pooled serum samples; Negative, negative pooled serum samples; Hc, healthy control; Ss, proven strongyloidiasis; Gl, giardiasis; Eh, amoebiasis; Bh, blastocystosis; Ov, opisthorchiasis; Fg, fascioliasis; Ph, paragonimiasis; Tn, taeniasis; Cc, cysticercosis; Se, sparganosis; Hw, hookworm infections; Al, ascariasis; Tt, trichuriasis; Ts, trichinellosis; Ac, angiostrongyliasis; Gs, gnathostomiasis; Cp, capillariasis. The intensity cut-off levels for a positive result of the NIE, SsIR, and NIE-SsIR ICT kits were 1, 1, and>0.5, respectively by the naked eye and <164, <164, and <167, respectively by the in-house strip reader. The "+" and "—" symbols indicated positive and negative results.
