FIG 5.

RNA shedding and RNA distribution in the tissues in the piglets that were infected with synthetic recPEDV-MN resemble the values displayed by PEDV-NPL 2013. (A) Viral RNA shedding in serum, rectal, and oronasal swabs of piglets that were either infected with the indicated viruses or mock-infected. (B) Viral RNA loads in log₁₀ genome equivalents (GE) per mg of tissue samples from primary infected or contact piglets from the four groups that were euthanized at the indicated days p.i. Each dot (panel A) or bar (panel B) represents a mean value, with error bars showing the standard deviation.
