The absence (−) or presence of minor (+), moderate (++), or severe (+++) clinical signs of disease.

*All of these animals survived.

Some of these animals survived, this indicates time to death for those that succumbed.

The two animals that survived only demonstrated moderate neurological signs while those that succumbed demonstrated severe neurological signs.
