Detection of ABV RNA in matched tissues of inoculees ^a

	Experimentals (n = 3)	Controls (n = 2)
Brain	3/3	0/2
Spinal cord	1/3	0/1b
Adrenal	0/3	0/1b
Stomachs	2/3	0/2
Liver	0/3	0/2
Lung	0/3	0/2
Heart	1/3	0/2
Pectoral muscle	0/3	0/2
skin	0/3	0/2

^a RT-PCR for ABVN RNA and control RT-PCRs were performed for each specimen shown. ^b Control RT-PCRs were negative in one of the tissue samples from the control inoculees so the results for this bird were excluded from the analysis.
