Detection of Four Avian Viruses in 1,575 Poultry Samples from Guangxi, China

Guangxi province, China, is the source for 1,575 clinical poultry samples tested for four immunosuppressive viruses. The dataset contains results from a validated quadruplex RT-qPCR assay, with positivity rates for avian leukosis virus (36.89%), chicken infectious anemia virus (17.65%), avian reovirus (2.16%), and fowl adenovirus (7.05%). The data was authored by Haozhao Mo and published on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate diagnostic assays based on the reported limits of detection (136.66 to 139.79 copies/reaction) and specificity results.
• Analyze co-infection patterns in poultry based on the positivity rates for four distinct viruses from the same clinical samples.
• Benchmark new testing methods against the reported 99.31% coincidence rate with reference assays.
• Study the epidemiology of avian immunosuppressive viruses in a specific region based on the sample collection from Guangxi, China.

Strengths

• Assay validation includes specific sensitivity metrics: limits of detection ranging from 129.59 to 139.79 copies/reaction.
• Demonstrated high repeatability with intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation between 0.29% and 0.99%.
• Results are based on a substantial sample size of 1,575 clinical specimens.
• Method specificity was confirmed with no cross-reactivity against other chicken viruses.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the collection from a single Chinese province.
