Mean ± standard deviation (SD); dpc = days post challenge; na = no surviving animals. Clinical and pathological scoring details are provided in supplementary Tables S1 and S2. Significance found between Groups 2 and 3 clinical scores at days 4 and 5 (*; p-values of 0.004 and 0.009, respectively). Statistical significance was determined by multiple comparison t test using the Holm-Sidak method, with alpha = 5.000%, and each row analyzed individually, without assuming a consistent SD.
