^aTwo-week-old geese were inoculated intranasally (i.n.) with 10⁶ EID₅₀ of each virus in a 0.2 ml volume; three ducks in each group were euthanized on 3 DPI, and virus titer was determined in samples of heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, trachea, Small intestine, bursa of fabricius, Thymus, Pancreas and cecal tonsils in eggs [17].

^bFor statistical analysis, a value of 1.5 was assigned if the virus was not detected from the undiluted sample in three embryonated hen eggs. Virus titers are expressed as means ± standard deviation in log₁₀EID₅₀/g of tissue.

^cNo detected.
