Viremia is expressed as FMDV RNA molecules/ml of serum quantified by qRT-PCR (Neg. means<103 FMDV RNA molecules/ml of serum). The three numbers given in parenthesis correspond to: dpc, the day after challenge at which the maximum level of viremia was detected; the first dpc at which viremia was detected; and the third value is the number of days of duration of viremia. The infectivity of those sera that were positive for FMDV RNA is indicated in brackets as PFU/ml of serum; [Neg.] means<100 PFU/ml of serum.
FMDV RNA molecules per ml of nasal secretion (Neg. means<103 FMDV RNA molecules per ml of nasal secretion). The dpc, onset, and duration values are as defined in footnote a.
Number of toes with lesions plus the snout and tongue combined, when lesions were present. The maximum score is 17. The day of onset (given in parenthesis) is the first day after challenge at which lesions were detected.
