Seeds were extracted from ripe pods using in most cases a homemade extraction system based on a rubber mat and a plaster hawk as described by Garcia et al. [ 87].
The cases included were based on a single sample MAT titre, which is not the standard test for confirmation.
The 11 confirmed cases were associated with serovars Copenhageni, Ballum, and LT751-Pohnpei based on a 20 serovar MAT panel (Table 2).
We used the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) to test serum samples; the MAT was based on a panel of 15 Leptospira strains, enabling the screening of all recently reported serogroups for human and animal cases on neighboring Mayotte (2, 4, 9 ).
Russian language has a long tradition of vulgar slang known as mat, which is based on a few swearwords that with the help of prefixes and suffixes can form any part of speech and express both positive and negative emotions.
A positive MAT result was based on a 4-fold rising titer in 97 cases and a single titer of ≥1∶400 in 27 cases.
A positive MAT result was based on a four-fold increasing titer in 97 cases and a single titer of ≥ 1 400 in 27 cases.
Diagnosis of leptospirosis was based on a positive Leptospira culture and/or positive microscopic agglutination test (MAT) result (defined as a four-fold increase in MAT titer between acute-phase and convalescence-phase samples or a single titer ≥ 1 400).
The technique is based on a simple hydrothermal treatment of the fabricated N6 mat.
Unlike the G = MAT model, the GeneClass algorithm is based on a much more complex model – an alternative decision tree.
