Figure 7
Determination of bacterial virulence. Bacterial loads in the blood of ducks infected with CH3 or RA1062 at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hpi. Three experimental replicates were performed and the data presented in the figure were from one representative experiment. The error bars represent means ± standard deviations from six ducks. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between groups (***p < 0.001).
