Overall (a) and time-point-specific (b) diagnostic accuracy of the coproantigen ELISA in comparison with plasma and egg yolk IgY ELISA and faecal egg counts in chickens infected with Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum. The diagonal line corresponds to half of the maximum area under the curve (AUC = 1.0). The DeLong test was used to determine significant differences between the AUC of each diagnostic test. The significance level was preset at P < 0.05. AUC values bearing the same superscripts showed no significant difference. The farther the location of the ROC curve from the diagonal line, the higher the total test accuracy analyses. A summary of AUC values with their confidence intervals for all diagnostic methods within each wpi is shown in (b)
