Estimating True Within Herd Prevalence

Please ensure the sum of test sensitivity and specificity is at least than 100%

Please ensure the number of positve animals is less than the number sampled.

Background

The number of test positives divided by the number of animals tested gives the 'apparent prevalence'. If we know the test sensitivity and specificity then we can calculate an estimate for the 'true prevalence' which is what this calculator does.
