Table 2.

Percent survival and mean weight (in grams) at challenge and at death or euthanasia in Myotis lucifugus vaccinated with raccoon poxvirus (RCN) expressing calnexin (RCN-CAL) and RCN expressing serine protease (RCN-SP) in combination, either via the oral route or intramuscular (IM) route, or RCN expressing luciferase (RCN-luc, control group).

Treatment Route n % survival after challenge Mean weight at challenge (g) ± s.d. Mean weight at death (g) ± s.d.
RCN-luc-control IM/oral 9 30 10.1 ± 0.9A 5.3 ± 1.8A
RCN-CAL/RCN-SP IM 10 80 10.4 ± 1.1A 6.1 ± 0.9AB
RCN-CAL/RCN-SP oral 8 88 10.5 ± 1.3A 7.0 ± 0.8BC

Bats were challenged with Pseudogymnoascus destructans three weeks after immunization and just prior to a 120 day hibernation period. Mean weights with different letters within a column are significantly different at P < 0.05.
