In our healthy pigs limited to the fattening group (see Methods) the prevalence of TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 was similar.
With excellent specificity of both methods, the prevalence observed most likely represents the true occurrence of the parasite in our population.
By using non-molecular standard methods, the prevalence of the parasite already exceeded 40% in communities in Venezuela [ 45], Peru [ 46], Colombia [ 7], and in school children or orphanage in Indonesia [ 6], Thailand [ 47], and Lebanon El Safadii unpubl).
The purpose of this study was to evaluate, using simple methods, the prevalence of cardiac and renal damage and its relationship to the presence of established cardiovascular disease (CVD), in patients with hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Based on different testing methods, the prevalence of FCoV in field cats varies among countries, e.g., 50% in Switzerland [ 10], 34% in Australia [ 23], 22% in Japan [ 11] and 13.7% in Korea [ 24].
With similar methods, the prevalence of T-scores ≤ -2.5 calculated from a nationwide calcaneal QUS screening of bone mass of healthy Japanese women in the sixth, seventh, or eighth-and-older decades were 5.2%, 18.7% and 43.6%, respectively [ 11]; the prevalence of low QUS values (T-scores ≤ = 2.5) in Taiwanese women were 7.9, 21.7 and 34.5%, respectively [ 13].
Study design: Using the capture recapture method, the prevalence of NTD was estimated on the basis of five different registries on births affected by NTD.
Using the MDRD method, the prevalence in blacks was only higher than in whites for stage 4 and 5 CKD.
The prevalence of prediabetes based on the OGTT was 20.2% (n = 191), whereas with the HbA1c method, the prevalence of diabetes was 38.8% (n = 366).
To be able to compare the roadside and the combined survey method, the prevalence of use on a single day was estimated based on the frequency of use.
According to the Peto method, the prevalence of smoking in the study population was estimated indirectly from lung cancer death rates of the population [ 18].
