a
Goats were infected intravenously with 104 TCID50 of CAEV-Co. The mean ± SD cELISA value for IP-negative preinfection sera was 10.7 ± 3.9% inhibition. IP-negative postinfection sera with cELISA values of >18.5% inhibition are in bold type. IP-negative postinfection sera with cELISA values of >33.2% inhibition are in bold type and underlined.
b
Neg, IP negative; Pos, IP positive.
c
% I, percent inhibition.
