Table 2.

Wilcoxon rank test of virus excretion comparing the vaccinated (High HIT and low HIT group) versus non-vaccinated (Control group) chickens.

Comparisons	Datasets	Exp 1	Exp 2	Combined Experiments
High HIT vs. Non-vaccinated	Inoculated	W = 24, p-value = 0.10	W = 6, p-value = 0.65	W = 51, p-value = 0.56
High HIT vs. Non-vaccinated	Contact	W = 16.5, p-value = 0.78	W = 15, p-value = 0.025^#	W = 59.5, p-value = 0.20
Low HIT vs. Non-vaccinated	Inoculated	W = 29, p-value = 0.078	W = 14, p-value = 0.33	W = 67, p-value = 0.40
Low HIT vs. Non-vaccinated	Contact	W = 10, p-value = 0.20	W = 15, p-value = 0.22	W = 58, p-value = 0.83
Vaccinated vs. Non-vaccinated^a	Inoculated	W = 53, p-value = 0.044^#	W = 20, p-value = 0.68	W = 118, p-value = 0.39
Vaccinated vs. Non-vaccinated^a	Contact	W = 26.5, p-value = 0.51	W = 30, p-value = 0.042^#	W = 117.5, p-value = 0.41

The vaccinated data was the sum of virus shedding from the High HIT and low HIT group; Non-vaccinated data was from the control group. # P-value <0.05 indicated significant difference.
