Viral Loads Assessed via Genomic and Subgenomic RT-qPCR During Challenge. Viral loads from pharyngeal swabs (A, E, I), nasal swabs (B, F, J), bronchial brushes (C, G, K) and BAL cells (D, H, L) assessed by RT-qPCR for genomic N (A–D), subgenomic N (E–H), and subgenomic E (I–L) content. Data are represented as area under the curve of each dosage group for each anatomical site and assay type. Groups were compared via Kruskal-Walis test comparing each dosage group to the control group. Asterisks represent significant difference from controls (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01).
