Figure 1. Radiographic imaging of disease progression.
Time course ventrodorsal radiographs of representative macaques infected with either H2N2 or H2H3. Panels (A), (B), (C) and (D) represent time course radiographs from an individual animal at baseline, 3 dpi, 8 dpi, and 14 dpi infected with human H2N2 influenza virus. Focal interstitial radiographic changes (solid arrows) were noted on 3 dpi and 8 dpi but have resolved by 14 dpi. Panels (E), (F), (G) and (H) represent time course radiographs from an individual animal at baseline, 3 dpi, 8 dpi, and 14 dpi infected with swine H2N3 influenza virus. Focal interstitial changes with consolidation and partial effacement of the cardiac silhouette (open arrow) were noted. Radiographic changes are progressive on 8 dpi and 14 dpi with complete effacement of the cardiac silhouette and consolidation within the entire right hemi-thorax. Radiographic scoring was performed as previously published [21].
