The changes in whole blood viral load and tissue viral load of rabbits challenged with aerosolized RPXV. (a) Blood samples were collected on day −1, day 2 post-aerosol exposure and every other day through day 14. DNA was isolated from whole blood and used for real-time PCR assay. The graph shows the average whole blood viral load from each group of rabbits, LOD: limit of detection. (b) Necropsies were performed on all of the rabbits that had succumbed to the disease. Selected tissues were collected, processed, and DNA was isolated and used for real-time PCR assay. The graph shows the average tissue viral load from the control group (group 1).
