Tissue distribution of FMDV during viremic phase of infection following IOP inoculation.

<p>Numbers represent Log₁₀ genome copy numbers (GCN)/mg of tissue. FMDV RNA content in serum is expressed as Log₁₀ FMDV RNA copies/µl to facilitate comparison with viral content in tissues. Bold numbers indicate that samples were positive for both FMDV RNA (qRT-PCR) and virus isolation, (+) indicates that virus isolation was positive but FMDV RNA content was below the limit of detection, (-) indicates double negative samples. Limits of detection: tissue samples = 2.52 Log₁₀ GCN/mg, serum≤0.1 Log₁₀ GCN/µl (corresponding to an assay detection limit of 2.68 Log₁₀ GCN/ml of serum).</p><p>Tissue distribution of FMDV during viremic phase of infection following IOP inoculation.
