a

The pathogenicity phenotype in chickens was determined using the intravenous pathogenicity index (IVPI) (37).

b

Mean maximum weight loss (%) following i.n. inoculation with 106.0 EID50 of virus (five mice per group).

c

Mean viral titers in lungs following i.n. inoculation with 106.0 EID50 of virus on day 3 or 6 p.i. among mice with positive virus detection. Titers are reflective of 3 mice per group unless otherwise specified in parentheses.

d

MID50 and LD50 are expressed as the log10 EID50 required to give a value of 1 for MID50 or LD50.
