aUnits reported are TCID50—the amount of virus required to infect 50% of calf thyroid tissue (BTY) cultures [44]. Measurements reported using methods other than BTY cultures have been scaled. Measurements reported below the instrument detection limits are assumed to be 0 for calculation purposes. See electronic supplementary material, table S1, for details.
bScaled from lesion results based on data reported in Monaghan et al. [42].
