Weight loss and virus shedding in ferrets inoculated with H5N1WT or H5N1ΔMBCS viruses. (A) Mean body weights and standard deviations are depicted as percentage of body weight at time of inoculation for each group inoculated with H5N1WT virus and H5N1ΔMBCS virus. (B) Virus shedding from the upper respiratory tract of ferrets inoculated with H5N1WT virus or H5N1ΔMBCS virus from the nose and throat is indicated. Geometric mean titers are shown, with error bars provided to indicate the standard deviations. The lower limit of detection is 1.5 log10 TCID50.
