a
Ferrets, anesthetized with isoflurane and xylazine, were intranasally infected with virus (106 PFU/ml). Three animals were euthanized on day 1, 3, 6, or 12 p.i. for virus titration. When virus was not recovered from all of the three animals, individual titers were reported.
b
—, Virus was not isolated.
