Figure 3

PRRSV viral load and antibodies in serum and BALF from infected groups. PRRSV genome load was quantified (A) in serum and (B) in BALF by RT-PCR. Antibodies against PRRSV N protein were detected (C) in serum and (D) in BALF using ELISA with a positive threshold set at 0.4. All data are reported as the mean (±SE) of results obtained for the pigs (n = 5) in the Finistere group or the surviving pigs (n = 5–8) in Lena group. “c” indicates a significant difference between the Lena and Finistere groups using a global Kruskal–Wallis test followed by a Holm’s adjusted pairwise Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (p < 0.05).
