Figure 1

Dot plot comparison between VN test and ELISA against Oz virus in serum samples from wild animals in Yamguchi prefecture, Japan. A) Macaques (n = 40); B) wild boar (n = 124); C) sika deer (n = 76). The correlation coefficient between VN test and ELISA from macaques was 0.9163, from wild boars was 0.8807, and from sika deer was 0.7569. The optimal cutoff value of ELISA was calculated by 2-graph receiver-operating characteristic curve. The optimal cutoff values were set at 0.225 for macaques, 0.197 for wild boar, and 0.317 for sika deer serum samples and are indicated by dotted lines.
