Group 1 and group 2 pigs were infected with PRRSV HuN4 and HuN4-F112, respectively. Group 3 was the control group with pigs injected with PBS.
The numbers of pigs measured at each day p.i. were as follows: 16 at 0 days p.i., 16 at 1 day p.i., 14 at 3 days p.i., 12 at 5 days p.i., 10 at 7 days p.i., 8 at 10 days p.i., 6 at 14 days p.i., 4 at 21 days p.i., and 2 at 28 days p.i.
Respiratory scores ranged from 0 to 4 (see the text for the definition of each score).
