Mean virus excretion via the pharynx of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A/chicken/Netherlands/emc-3/2014 (H5N8) GsGd clade 2.3.4.4 (group A, Buan-like) of wild ducks, based on virus isolation (a, b) and virus detection by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) (c, d) of all birds in the group. Eurasian wigeon (EUWI, circle), common pochard (COPO, square), mallard (MALL, triangle pointed up), and common teal (COTE, triangle pointed down). TCID50, median tissue culture infectious dose with minimal detection limit of 0.5 TCID50/ml; Ct cycle threshold. AUC, area under the curve summarizes virus excretion from day 0 to 4 post inoculation (mean ± 95% confidence interval) based on virus isolation (b) and virus detection by RT-PCR (d)
