From: Isolation and Characterization of Encephalomyocarditis Virus from Dogs in China
EMCV-C15 loads in the organs of artificially challenged dogs according to real-time RT-PCR. Viral loads in various organs are shown in the graph. Eight 25-to-30-day-old dogs were obtained from a commercial breeding herd that was free of CPV, CDV, CPIV, CHV, ICHV and EMCV. Dogs were randomly allocated into two groups. Dogs in group A (n = 5) were inoculated with 1.0 mL (105 TCID50) of EMCV-C15. Dogs in group B (n = 3) were injected with 1.0 mL of DMEM as a control treatment. At 35 DPI, all dogs were euthanized and subjected to analysis of viral loads/virus distribution of EMCV-C15. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the legend correspond to the five dogs inoculated with EMCV-C15. Data from group B (uninfected group) are not visible in the graph because there was no viral load in animals from that group. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean of three replicates.
