60% ratio???
It's serology, to show whether the bird HAS the antibody or does NOT (clean).
It shows whether the bird has ever even been exposed. According to Jack any
pos. reaction should be checked out further. He suggests quarantining, then
retesting the serology after 2 or 3 mos. If pos still then dna swab under
stress. Basicaly then consider as carrier. Altho' the current also seems to
be swabbing the nestbox on the premise that if the bird is shedding, that's
where they'd shed....
