Figure 2.

Virus titre in serum and liver of BALB/c mice infected with MAYV. (a) Mice inoculated with 10⁵ p.f.u. of MAYV were sacrificed, and then, on different days after infection, blood was collected, and the serum samples were used for viremia measurement. (b) Liver samples were homogenized, and virus was titrated. Serum and liver titres are expressed as log₁₀ p.f.u./ml and log₁₀ p.f.u./g of tissue, respectively. Absence of bars indicates that the virus was undetectable. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 9 per group) and results are from three independent experiments. Groups were compared using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post-test; significant p-values are depicted in the graphs.
