Survivorship following rabies virus challenge among wild-caught raccoons (Procyon lotor) by rabies virus neutralizing antibody level.

	Titer group at baseline^b			Titer group at challenge^b

Titergroup^a	Survived	Total	% Survival	Survived	Total	% Survival
Negative	0	9	0	6	25	24
Low	4	8	50	4	4	100
Medium	4	10	40	5	6	83
High	9	10	90	2	2	100
All seropositive	17	28	61	11	12	92
Total	17	37	46	17	37	46

Group categories based on animal's rabies virus neutralizing antibody level: negative: <0.05 IU/mL, low: ≥0.05–0.11 IU/mL, medium: >0.11–<0.5 IU/mL, high: ≥0.5 IU/mL.

Animal blood sampling time periods: baseline = day animal captured, challenge = day animal challenged with rabies virus.
