Resumen:
This papers introduces simulation models to evaluate the validity of national or regional disease surveys aimed at identifying infection in populations in farm animals. The process of evaluation includes specification or calculation of cluster-level diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity, which are obtained from two probability distributions of the number of positive tests at individual-level expected from infected and non-infected clusters, respectively.
