Eight- to 10-week-old CC011xCC074-F2 mice (n = 236; 123 females, 113 males) were generated and infected with 100 ffu MA-EBOV i.p. and followed for 6 days for weight loss and mortality.
(A) Weight loss on day 5 post infection of CC011xCC074-F2 mice.
(B) Survival of CC011xCC074-F2 mice over the time of infection.
(C) QTL map for the weight loss on day 5 post infection.
(D) QTL map for the overall survival rate over the time of infection. Phenotypes were grouped based on a homozygous CC011 genotype, a heterozygous genotype, and a homozygous CC074 genotype. (E) The allele plot for weight loss on 5 dpi, and (F) the allele plot for percentage survival over the time of infection; 0 = alive, 1 = dead. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test (allele plots for weight loss and survival). LOD, log10 likelihood ratio; dotted line indicates the genome-wide p = 0.05 significance threshold.
