a

Estimated titer based on dilution of 0.5mL inoculum in 7 mL blood volume of the hamster (1:15 dilution) and 50% distribution in the intravascular space, for a total dilution of 1:30

b

Time shown is hours (days) before/after challenge.

c

Serum sample volumes were insufficient to test individual animals for all groups, so sera from 2–8 animals were pooled and tested by PRNT50. See Figure 2 for serum pools and GMT results

d

Geometric means were calculated for the positives (>10) only

e

Not tested
