Viral load variations in various tissues of CA16CC024-infected mice at different time points. One-day-old ICR mice were inoculated intracerebrally with 10 µl CA16CC024 at 103.5 CCID50 ml−1. Virus loads were assessed by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR in samples of the intestine, lung, liver, hind-limb muscle, brain, spleen, kidney, heart, spine and blood from the infected mice. Samples were collected at the times indicated. The results represent the mean virus loads [log10 copies (mg tissue)−1 or log10 copies (ml blood)−1]±sd (three mice per group, repeated three times).
