Survival and Body Temperature Changes after VEEV TrD Aerosol Challenge of Immunized Mice. Mice were immunized (IM) twice (Day 0 and 28) with the respective vaccine or TBS and then exposed to an aerosolized dose of VEEV TrD on Day 42. Kaplan-Meier plots of survival results (A) and changes in body temperature during the post-challenge period (B). There was a significant difference in survival between the TBS group and all three vaccination groups (p < 0.01). In addition, there was a significant (p < 0.05) temperature decrease for the TBS control group (B) prior to succumbing to infection or meeting euthanasia criteria and a significant difference between the TBS control group and the vaccinated groups on Days 44–49 (p < 0.05). Ten animals per group were evaluated for survival and body temperature changes.
