Replication and transmission study of recombinant virus 2H7N2:6WF10att and 2mH7N2:6WF10att in quail

Virus Group # of positive tracheal swab/total # post-inoculation (log10TCID50/ml ± SD) at peak viral shedding # of seroconverted/total # (Average HI titer at 14 dpi)

1 dpi 3 dpi 5dpi 7 dpi 9 dpi
2H7N2:6WF10att Inoculated 6/6 (2.9 ± 0.4) 6/6* 3/3 0/3 0/3 3/3 (133)

Contact NA 3/3 (1.6 ± 1.4) 3/3 2/3 0/3 3/3 (47)

2mH7N2:6WF10att Inoculated 6/6 (<0.7) 6/6* 1/3 1/3 0/3 3/3 (87)

Contact NA 0/3 0/3 2/3 (<0.7) 0/3 2/3 (10)

* 3 quail from each inoculated group were sacrificed at 3 dpi to determine virus load in the lungs.
