Figure 1

Fecal PEDV RNA shedding profiles of piglets (A) and their sows (B) after oral inoculation of piglets at 3–4 days of age.. Data were shown as mean of piglets (A) or individual sow (B) of each litter. Representative PEDV RNA fecal shedding pattern of one S-INDEL PEDV Iowa106- (C) and one original US PEDV PC21A- (D) inoculated piglets were shown. A biphasic curve with 3–6 days of intervals between peaks (C) or a time-dependent, gradual down-sloping curve (D) was observed. A dominant “peak” of fecal PEDV RNA shedding titer was defined when the titer difference between the peak and the lowest values was >1.5 log10 (~5 Ct) and was marked with Asterisk. Four and two peaks were counted in (C) and (D), respectively.
