aGn pigs were inoculated with a HuNoV GII.4 2006b variant 092895 at 33 days of age. Diarrhea and virus shedding were monitored by daily rectal swab sampling and RT-qPCR after inoculation. Calculation included all pigs in each group from PID1 to PID7.

bIf diarrhea or virus shedding was not observed, the days to onset was recorded as 8 and the duration days was recorded as 0 for statistical purposes.

Fisher’s exact test or ∗∗Kruskal–Wallis test was used for comparisons. Different letters indicate significant differences among treatment groups (P < 0.05), while shared letters indicate no significant difference.
