Lesions observed were scored and displayed as a cumulative score observed in different organs of the pig (different coloured bars). Lesions in the thoracic cavity include the presence of thoracic exudates as well as lesions affecting cardio-respiratory system (pink bar). Lesions in the abdominal cavity include the presence of ascites along with the presence of lesions affecting the gastrointestinal system including the stomach, intestines, liver and gallbladder (blue bar). Lesions in lymphoid tissues including tonsils, thymus, spleen and several lymph nodes are depicted by the black bar. Results for individual pigs in different groups as labelled on the x-axis are shown in (a) for experiment 1; and (b) for experiment 2. † above the individual bars or groups denotes the days on which the individual pigs or groups of pigs were culled. Days post-immunisation are indicated as dpi and days post-challenge as DPC.
