a

Data are presented for each rabbit eye used in the spontaneous- and induced-reactivation experiments. OS, left eye; OD, right eye. 

b

Spontaneous reactivation indicates that virus was shed without an induction stimulus; data are for 20 days per eye unless noted otherwise. 

c

In induced reactivation, rabbits underwent transcorneal iontophoresis with 0.015% epinephrine; data are for 7 days per eye. 

d

One rabbit died during spontaneous swabbing, and only 11 swabs per eye were collected. 

e

ND, not done due to corneal scarring. 

f

One sample was contaminated and not counted in the summary; data are for 19 days per eye.
