Table 2. Relationship between clinical signs of SSWD and presence of SSaDV VP1 DNA.

Contingency table expressing relationship between presence or absence gross morphological (clinical) signs and detection of SSaDV VP1 DNA using qPCR. Samples tested include a mix of samples from field-collected (n = 34) and experimentally challenged A. forbesi (n = 19). No relationship was observed between presence of VP1 and clinical signs of SSWD (Fisher’s exact test: p = 1.0).
