Table 2. Experiment EGG-2.

ILTV log₁₀ GC in the inoculum and allantoic fluid of eggs inoculated with virus stock or an equivalent amount of stock spiked on dust samples subjected or not to drying at 30°C for 24 h and two freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample	Sample treatment	LSM ± SE ILTV log₁₀ GC/reaction of inoculum	LSM ± SE ILTV log₁₀ GC/reaction of allantoic fluid (N. positive /total)
Virus stocks	Nil	7.62 ± 0.66^A,¹	(4/4) 8.81 ± 0.57^A
Spiked dust	Nil	7.82 ± 0.66^A	(4/4) 6.61± 0.57^A
Spiked dust	Drying	6.88 ± 0.66^A	(3/4) 2.49 ± 0.57^B
Spiked dust	Drying plus freeze-thaw	6.79 ± 0.66^A	(4/4) 3.78 ± 0.57^B

¹Superscripts (ABC) not sharing the same letter denote difference (p <0.05) between the samples
