Fig. 2: Comparisons of viral burden at treatment initiation (5 DPI) by treatment cohort and clinical outcome.

EBOV vRNA abundance and circulating viremia was assessed at the time of treatment initiation (5 DPI) for each animal in each treatment cohort. a, b Comparison of EBOV vRNA abundance (a) and circulating live virus (b) at 5 DPI by treatment cohort. c, d Comparison of EBOV vRNA abundance (c) and circulating live virus at 5 DPI (d) by clinical outcome (“survivor” or “fatal”). For all panels, bars represent the geometric mean ± geometric SD for each group. For (a, b) individual animals are represented by color-coded symbols within bars. For (a, b) statistical comparison was performed by non-parametric ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis test) followed by Dunn’s post-hoc test for multiple comparisons. For (c, d) significance was determined by non-parametric Mann–Whitney U-test. All reported p-values are two-tailed. For all panels, individual data points represent the mean of two technical replicates. Dashed horizontal lines indicate the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for the assay (1000 GEq/mL for RT-qPCR; 25 PFU/mL for plaque titration, where GEq = genome equivalents).
