From: Sensitivity and permissivity of Cyprinus carpio to cyprinid herpesvirus 3 during the early stages of its development: importance of the epidermal mucus as an innate immune barrier

Figure 5

Timeline of the experiments performed to investigate the effect of the mode of inoculation on the sensitivity of carp to CyHV-3 infection during the early stages of development. At different times post-hatching (indicated by red arrows), carp were inoculated with the FL LUC strain according to three modes of inoculation: by immersion in infectious water (B), by immersion in infectious water just after removing the epidermal mucus (M), and by IP injection of the virus (IP). At 24 hpi, 30 carp were analyzed individually by IVIS. The two-headed arrows below the time scale represent the period of time during which the indicated developmental stage represented at least 80% of the fish population. The size of fish (mean ± SD, based on 15 measurements) at the time of infection (indicated by vertical red arrows) is indicated.
