Sequential development of ASCV viral load in kidney specimens following experimental challenge of Atlantic salmon.

<p>The viral load of ASCV was measured by real-time PCR. Results are presented as a box plot (whiskers and minimum to maximum). Fish were challenged by intramuscular injection as non-vaccinated (blank boxes, representing 9–10 individuals per sampling) or vaccinated (patterned boxes, representing four individuals each, *three samples were negative and not included). Significant differences are indicated by brackets.
