The data contained in this worksheet provides the Median Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) values produced by applying the bead-based multiplex immunoassay to saliva samples serially collected during the Buffalo Shores Beach, Iowa study. MFI data was analyzed to assess exposure patterns to multiple pathogens. In the study, we collected an initial sample (S1) at the beach and the remaining samples (S2 and S3) were self-collected by participants 10 -14 and 30 - 40 days later, respectively.
