(-) indicates below detection levels; NT indicates not tested or samples were not collected. 1 DENV genome levels in marmosets M1 to M8 and tamarins T3, T4, and T5 were previously reported [12,13]. 2 DENV genome levels in marmosets M9 to M13 were previously reported [20,21]. Cynomologous macaques (CM) were infected as previously reported [97,98].
