* Fetus in approximately the fourth month of gestation
** Fetus in approximately the eighth month of gestation
NA: not applicable, not part of a family
Unique PI ID numbers were assigned to animals as well as an additional designation (Family ID) for those animals that were part of a family within this sample. F denotes the family and G denotes the generation. For example, F1-G2 is the second generation of family 1. Furthermore, PI4 is the fetus of PI3 and PI10 is the fetus of PI9. The BVDV genotype was determined by comparison of the consensus E2 sequence to the reference sequences depicted in Fig 1.
