Fig. 2: Infectious virus titers in organs following HPAI A(H5N1) infection.

Six-week-old C57BL/6J mice were inoculated with 105 TCID50 of A/bovine/OH/B24OSU-342/2024, A/mountain lion/MT/1/2024), A/mink/Spain/3691-8_22VIR10586-10/2022, or A/Vietnam/1203/2004. On day 4 post inoculation, 4 animals from each group were euthanized to determine virus titers in organs (lung, liver, brain) and blood. A–D Intranasally inoculated mice. E–H Orogastric inoculated mice. Dashed line indicates limit of detection. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison. ns p > 0.05, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001. Comparisons with p values > 0.05 were not displayed. Violin plots show interquartile range, median and density curve.
