3.7. Agreement between MC-PCR and serology for T. gondii
Using either method of detection (serology or molecular), 23 of 39 foxes (59%) were exposed to and/or infected with T. gondii . Five foxes were positive on serology and negative on tissue DNA, 7 were serologically negative but tissue positive, 11 were positive on both, and 16 were negative on both ( Table 1). There was no statistical difference between serological and molecular results using the McNemar chi square test (p = 0.581), and the Kappa test statistic (k = 0.321) showed only moderate agreement between the two tests ( Dohoo et al., 2010).
