Multiplex bead assays (MBAs) for serologic testing have become more prevalent in public health surveys, but few studies have assessed their test performance. As part of a trachoma study conducted in a rural part of Ethiopia in 2016, dried blood spots (DBS) were collected from a random sample of 393 children aged 0 to 9 years, with at least two separate 6-mm DBS collected on a filter card. Samples eluted from DBS were processed using an MBA on the Luminex platform for antibodies against 13 antigens of nine infectious organisms: Chlamydia trachomatis, Vibrio cholera, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, Camplyobacter jejuni, Salmonella typhimurium Group B, Salmonella enteritidis Group D, and Giardia lamblia.

Gastrointestinal Disease and Zoonoses, Health Protection Scotland, Glasgow, UK.
Background: This article presents information on all potential outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease (IID) identified by Health Protection Scotland (HPS) involving residents of Scotland. Unlike other systems, this alert system covers potential outbreaks of IID rather than apparently sporadic cases and covers all gastrointestinal pathogens, all visited countries, and all groups of travelers.
Methods: HPS collects information on all potential outbreaks of IID in residents of Scotland where infection is believed to have been acquired abroad and disseminates this to all public health teams in Scotland so other linked cases can be identified.
