Mean clinical score, body temperature, viral nasal shedding, and viremia following infection. Clinical scores (a). Body temperatures are indicated in degree Celcius and the dotted line indicates fever (defined as a T ≥ 38.6°C) (b). Viral nasal shedding is represented as mean log gB copy numbers in nasal swabs as determined by real time PCR (c) and viremia is represented as log gB copy numbers/106 copies of β-actin in PBMCs (d). Controls (n = 5): white circles, Ab4 WT infected (n = 7): grey triangles, Ab4 delta ORF1/2 infected (n = 7): black squares. Data are displayed as means + SEM.
