New term : seroprevalence

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Definition: Seroprevalence is the number of persons in a population who test 
positive for a specific disease based on serology (blood serum) specimens; 
often presented as a percent of the total specimens tested or as a proportion 
per 100,000 persons tested. As positively identifying the occurrence of disease 
is usually based upon the presence of antibodies for that disease (especially 
with viral infections such as Herpes Simplex and HIV), this number is not 
significant if the specificity of the antibody is low. (from WIKIPEDIA)

We have this term in BO, I think there may be a "infectious disease 
seroprevalence" needed in IDO.

Thanks,

This term is already in IDO as infectious agent seroprevalence with ID 
IDO:0000488.
