From: Age is not a determinant factor in susceptibility of broilers to H5N2 clade 2.3.4.4 high pathogenicity avian influenza virus

Figure 4

Virus detection in tissues of broilers inoculated with high dose of A/turkey/Minnesota/12582/2015 (H5N2) virus. Virus detection by qRRT-PCR. The limit of detection for Tk/MN/15 virus was 3.0 log10 EID50/g; therefore, qRRT-PCR negative samples were given a numeric value of 2.9 log10 EID50/g. Virus titers in each type of tissue were statistically similar among the three age groups (Kruskal–Wallis test, p > 0.7). Intranasally inoculated 5-week old broilers (5w), 8-week old broilers (8w), >30-week-old broiler breeders (>30w).
