FIG 2.
Clinical, serological, and molecular trends of M. conjunctivae infection in the Iberian ibex population. Results showed handlings that correspond with two epidemiological scenarios, epizootic IKC disease in 2013 and mostly asymptomatic infections in 2014. (A) Number of IKC cases by clinical stage. (B) Prevalence of M. conjunctivae-seropositive ibexes assessed by an indirect ELISA and prevalence of M. conjunctivae detection in eye swabs by qPCR. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals are represented by error bars. (C) Distribution of CT values of the M. conjunctivae-specific qPCR. Note that box plot of CT values from November 2013 is built with only two observations. (D) Absorbance relative values of the indirect ELISA that recognize IgG specific for M. conjunctivae.
