Fig. 4From: A prospective study on insect bite hypersensitivity in horses exported from Iceland into SwitzerlandPredictive value of the CAST for the identification of IBH susceptible horses before first clinical signs of IBH. Percentage of clinical endpoint healthy (N = 29; blue filled column) or IBH (N = 27; column with grey squares) horses that gave a positive CAST result with a Culicoides nubeculosus (2 μg/mL); or b Simulium vittatum (10 μg/mL) extracts. T0 corresponds to the first summer when IBH was diagnosed, or in the healthy horses the last year of the follow up study. T − 1, T − 2 and T − 3 represent the summers preceding T0, and T + 1, the summer following the clinical diagnosis of IBH. *P < 0.01; ***P < 0.0001Back to article page
