MOESM5 of Genome-wide association study and biological pathway analysis of the Eimeria maxima response in broilers

Additional file 5: Table S5. Title: Descriptive statistics of the measured traits. Description: Descriptive statistics of the traits measured on the challenged animals during the large-scale challenge study. Plasma coloration was measured as absorbance (optical density) of blood plasma at different wavelengths. Oocyst count is expressed as the raw number of oocysts per gram of feces. Erythrocyte count is expressed in millions per mm3 (M∙mm−3). White blood cell and thrombocyte count is expressed in absolute number per mm3 (count∙mm−3. Lymphocytes and heterophils are also expressed in the percentage of total number of white blood cells. MCV, MCH and MCHC correspond to mean cellular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, respectively.
