Viral genome copies per mL blood were determined by qPCR for pigs immunised and boosted with GΔBDKE-CmutQ96R/K108D at different doses a 103 (Group X), b 104 (Group Y), and c 102 (Group D), d pigs immunised (104) without a booster dose (Group C). Viremia for the non-immune, challenge control groups were measured following challenge with Georgia 2007/1 isolate, for e experiment 1 and f experiment 2. The cut-off for accurate detection is 102 ASFV genome copies/mL; below this, the exact genome copy cannot be determined. Any value below this indicates the presence of ASFV genome but the exact titres cannot be determined. g Pigs immunised with 104.5 TCID50 dose (Group E).
