* Challenged groups, in plaque forming units (pfu).

˟ pi = days post inoculation, day of sample collection.

ˠ Duplicates of the positive values, number of cycles needed to cross the threshold (CT).

" Viable virus content per mL, in pfu. BLD = below limit of detection.

Samples containing viable virus are shaded in grey.

Samples from gamma irradiated VARV and vehicle (PBS + .05%BSA) groups, did not show evidence of detectable virus either by real time PCR or Tissue Culture.
