A/Turkey/Indiana/1403/2016 | H7N8 | HPAI | PENPKKRKTR/G | 24.9 | 6.41 ± 0.29 | 5.83 ± 0.38 | 1.0 | 3.4 |

The pathogenicity phenotype in chickens was determined using the intravenous pathogenicity index (IVPI) (37).
Mean maximum weight loss (%) following i.n. inoculation with 106.0 EID50 of virus (five mice per group).
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.
MID50 and LD50 are expressed as the log10 EID50 required to give a value of 1 for MID50 or LD50.
