  1. Clarification of Table 2

    26 April 2010

    In Table 2, for the data analyzed from Espirito Santos, 2008 the number of specimens reported is 4, but the positive samples number reported is 5. Is this a typo, or does it imply more than one sample was taken from one of the 4 specimens- and if so, for what purpose?
    Note if this was a typo, and the cumulative positive sample number should be 60 and not 61, then the Positivity should also be changed to (93.75%)
    Thanks.
