Kinetics of OrV infection in N2 and CB4856. (A) Nematodes are infected by the OrV in liquid at the age of 26 h (as in reference 17) before samples were washed from the plate 2 to 35 h later and collected for viral load quantification. (B) Development of OrV infection over time in N2 (orange) and CB4856 (blue) over a course of 35 h. The points depict the observed viral loads, the line represents the smoothed conditional mean, and the gray shading shows the confidence interval for the mean. (C) Box plot of viral load measurements over time for N2 and CB4856. The two panels show a division into two groups: early infection (up to 12 h postinfection) and late infection (after 12 h postinfection, green). Lines connecting the dots represent samples of the two genotypes measured in the same replicate at the same time point. (D) Viral infections either started in the L1 stage (22 h) or L2 stage (28 h). Populations were exposed to the OrV in liquid and isolated 30 h postinfection for viral load measurements. (E) Viral loads observed for N2 and CB4856 that were infected in the L1 or L2 stage.
