Assessment of multiple routes of infection of CCHFV in STAT2−/− hamsters. Hamsters were infected with 10,000 TCID50 IbAr10200 CCHFV by either the intraperitoneal, intramuscular or subcutaneous route of infection (n = 3). Percent survival (a) and percent body weight (b) was determined throughout infection was calculated. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons tests was performed using GraphPad Prism version 8.0.0 for Windows (GraphPad Software, San Diego California USA, www.graphpad.com). Means and standard errors are reported.
