From: Pathogenesis and transmissibility of highly (H7N1) and low (H7N9) pathogenic avian influenza virus infection in red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa)

Figure 4

Viral shedding (expressed as log 10 viral RNA copies/sample) detected by qRRT-PCR over 8 days in cloacal and oropharyngeal swabs and feather pulp samples of red-legged partridges ( Alectoris rufa ) infected with A/Chicken/Italy/5093/1999 H7N1 HPAIV and A/ Anas crecca/ Spain/1460/2008 H7N9 LPAIV. In A and B, rates above the bars indicate the relation between positive birds and the total number of animals examined. Limit of detection is indicated by the dashed line (1.46 log10 viral RNA copies/sample). (A) H7N1 HPAIV intranasally inoculated partridges, (B) H7N1 HPAIV contact partridges, (C) H7N9 LPAIV intranasally inoculated partridges.
