[Dataset] Pattern and repeatability of ascarid-specific antigen excretion through chicken faeces, and the diagnostic accuracy of copro-antigen measurements as compared with McMaster egg counts and plasma and egg yolk antibody measurements in laying hens

Comprehensive data examining the pattern and repeatability of ascarid-specific antigen excretion in chicken faeces and the diagnostic accuracy of copro-antigen measurements compared to McMaster egg counts and antibody measurements in laying hens. The dataset consists of observations and measurements obtained from a controlled study involving laying hens infected with mixed <em>Ascaridia galli</em> and<em> Heterakis gallinarum</em>. A total of 179 individual hens were monitored between wpi 2 and 18 and their fecal samples/blood samples were collected at specific time points. Faecel samples were repeatedly collected four(4) consecutive times in one wpi.Hence antigen measurements is 4 X 179 = 716 measurements本数据集旨在全面探究鸡粪便中蛔科线虫特异性抗原的排泄模式与可重复性，并对比粪抗原（copro-antigen）检测、麦克马斯特虫卵计数法（McMaster egg counts）以及抗体检测在蛋鸡中的诊断准确性。该数据集来源于一项针对混合感染鸡蛔虫（Ascaridia galli）与鸡异刺线虫（Heterakis gallinarum）的蛋鸡的对照研究，所收录的观测数据与检测数值均取自该研究。研究期间共对179只个体蛋鸡开展感染后2周至18周的监测，并在特定时间点采集其粪便样本与血液样本。每感染后周（wpi）内连续4次重复采集粪便样本，因此粪抗原检测总次数为4×179=716次。
