Figure 1

Serum amyloid A and haptoglobin (PIT54) measurements. Closed circles = serum amyloid A (SAA). Open circles = haptoglobin (PIT54). Each graph represents different time points. At 4 days post-infection (dpi), it was only possible to collect a sufficient amount of heparin-stabilised blood for haptoglobin (PIT54) analysis from four infected animals. SAA measurements from infected and control animals were compared using a Mann–Whitney test. The haptoglobin (PIT54) data were compared utilising an unpaired t-test prior to inoculation, at 2 and 4 dpi, whilst a Mann–Whitney test was used for comparison of data on 6–7 dpi. **p < 0.01.
