Summary of FV3 transcription detected in tissues of adults cohoused for different periods (from 3hr to 14 days) of time with an immuno-compromised infected adult.

RT-PCR	3 hrs	6 hrs	24 hrs	7 d
Skin	+ (1/4)	+ (1/3)	ns (4/4)	ns (3/3)
Intestine	+ (4/6)	+ (1/3)	+/− (3/6)	+ (1/3)
Liver	ns (6/6)	ND	+ (2/3)	+ (1/3)
Kidney	+ (4/6)	+ (2/3)	+ (4/6)	+ (1/7)
Spleen	− (3/3)	ND	ns (3/3)	ns (3/3)

++: strong signal; + low signal; +/− barely detectable; ns: no signal; ND: not done

In parthenthesis: number of individual tissues positive/total number of indivual tissues

RT minus control were negative
