Figure 2

FMDV load in epithelium. A. Viral particles were detected by quantitative RT-PCR and expressed as FMDV RNA molecules/mg of tissue. The dotted line corresponds to the detection limit of the technique. B. Viral load is expressed as PFU/mg of tissue after titration on BHK-21 cells. Each bar corresponds to one animal. At day 3 pi two animals were found dead and one animals was euthanized, reason why the graphic has 3 animals for this time-point. C. Specific infectivity of each pig is indicated as PFU/FMDV RNA molecules, determined as described in Materials and methods. Each bar corresponds to one pig. Day 17 pi is not included because it was negative for FMDV detection. * No viral RNA or infectious virus was detected at 17 dpi
