 S. stercoralis rSs-NIE-1 plus CrAg-ELISA†
 G. duodenalis 
VSP3
 C. parvum Cp17
 C. parvum Cp23
 C. parvum Cp17 + Cp23‡
 C. parvum Cp17 + Cp23 and G. duodenalis VSP3

(%). †8 samples were found to be positive by the rSs-NIE-1 MAGPIX multiplex serologic assay (ThermoFisher, https://www.thermofisher.com), but only 4 reacted in the confirmatory S. stercoralis crude L3 larval antigen (CrAg) ELISA. ‡Only samples reactive to both Cp17 and Cp23 were considered positive for Cryptosporidium spp. exposure.
