*Eight 4-week-old khaki Campbell ducks were injected with 106 50% egg infectious dose of virus by intranasal and intratracheal infection, and 2 contact ducks were introduced 1 day later. †Total number of deaths or birds showing disease/total number of birds. Birds were observed daily for signs of disease or death. ‡Number of ducks shedding by the trachea or cloacae/total number of ducks remaining alive. Ducks were swabbed every other day beginning on day 2 postinfection. §All of the ducks in this group died.
