Abbreviations: DPI, days post-infection; M, macrophages; F = fibroblast-type cells (fibroblasts or fibrocytes); Il = iliac lymph node; In = inguinal lymph node; Ax = axillary lymph node. a Results for each tissue are presented as the number of bats per day with antigen detected (of 3 bats sampled per day), with a summary of major cell types involved.
