Fig. 11: Shedding of ASFV in swabs from pigs.

Viral DNA was extracted from swabs from a nasal, b oral and, c rectal cavities of pigs in Group E on different days until 23 dpi. These pigs were immunised with 104.5 TCID50 GΔBDKE-CmutQ96R/K108D. As a comparison, d nasal, e oral, and f rectal swabs show results from swabs collected from the non-immune, challenge control pigs (Group F) from experiment 2. Genome copies per/ml log 10 are shown on the y-axis. The x-axis shows days post-immunisation or days post-challenge when samples were collected.
