Thyroid hormone levels in sera from fetuses at 21 days post-infection. Sera was derived from gestational day matched, non-inoculated control gilts (CON n = 56) and from PRRSV2 challenged dams at 21 days post-inoculation (Experiment 1) and classified based on serum and thymic viral load as uninfected (UNIF n = 201), high viral load viable (HV-VIA n = 171) or high viral load meconium stained (HV-MEC n = 93). Total triiodothyronine (A) and thyroxin (B) were measured via RIA with data is presented as a standard boxplot with unique superscripts denote statistical differences (P < 0.05).
