Concentration of ascarid antigens in faeces (APG) of control (black circle) and infected (blue circle) laying hens. The effect of infection, wpi and their interaction were significant (P < 0.001). Statistical analyses are based on log-transformed data [log(y+1)] while visualization is based on untransformed data. * Indicates a significant difference between control and infected laying hens at a given time point (Tukey–Kramer, P < 0.05). Each dot on the plot represents an individual observation. Number of observations (N = 716) refers to 179 hens sampled for four consecutive days prior to slaughter. The vertical line inside the box plots shows the sample median, while the lower and upper ends of the box represent the 25th and 75th quantiles, respectively
