Lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and elevated ESR after aerosol challenge with SCHU S4. Blood samples collected pre- and post-exposure were analyzed for changes in WBC (A), lymphocytes (B), granulocytes (C), monocytes (D), platelets (E) and ESR (F). Graphs show means at each time point with error bars showing the standard deviation for mock (solid lines, circles) as well as rabbits vaccinated with LVS by scarification (dashed lines, squares), oral inoculation (dotted lines, triangles) or by aerosol (dot-dash lines, inverted triangles).
