Modelling risk when binary outcomes are subject to error.
TL;DR: This work presents a model for binomial regression when the outcome is determined using the results of a single diagnostic test with imperfect sensitivity and specificity, and illustrates it with the analysis of real data and provides an example of WinBUGS program code for performing such an analysis.

TL;DR: Failure of vaccination to prevent disease following challenge was likely associated with failure to prime for improved CMI responses, and there was no difference between groups in clinical signs, postmortem changes, CTL activity, cytokine message expression, or IFN-gamma production.

Effect of diagnostic testing error on intracluster correlation coefficient estimation
TL;DR: A Bayesian model for estimating the ICC that incorporates imperfect sensitivity and specificity is proposed and illustrated using a simulation study and one example; a seroprevalence survey of ovine progressive pneumonia in U.S. sheep flocks.

TL;DR: Effective therapeutic and prophylactic strategies could be developed using immunomodulation to shift the immune response more toward a T helper cell type-1 response in calves infected with BRSV.
