a
All virus inoculations consisted of 1 ml of virus stock, and all inoculations summarized in this table were done without addition of seminal plasma.
b
An animal was considered infected if virus could be isolated from its PBMC on at least one occasion.
c
Transient viremia was noted in some of the animals inoculated intravaginally with this virus stock. The animals inoculated with the lower doses of virus were more likely to become transiently viremic than animals inoculated with the higher doses of virus. Please refer to reference 23 for details.
