Two animals in each of groups 6, 8, 10, and 12 received 4 log units of challenge virus (in the pilot study); all other animals received 5 log units of appropriate challenge virus (main study).
No virus could be found in a plaque assay in Vero cells when using undiluted or 1:2 or 1:10 dilutions of sera obtained from days 2 to 11 postchallenge.
Viremic animals only.
