Viral shedding of PPMV-1 from the oral cavity and cloaca of experimentally infected pigeons. Pigeons in groups A1, A2 and A3 were infected with 10⁶ EID₅₀pi/China/SD/2012/132; pigeons in groups B1, B2 and B3 were infected with 10⁶ EID₅₀ pi/China/SH/2013/167. Positive-control group (PC) birds were intramuscularly injected with 10⁶ EID₅₀ F48E8; and negative-control group (NC) birds were inoculated with sterile PBS (pH 7.2). IV, intravenous injection; IM, intramuscular injection; IN, intranasal infection; IO, intraocular infection
