a daily rectal temperature, b daily clinical score, c serology (competitive ELISA), and d viral RNA from ocular, nasal, and rectal swabs (qRT-PCR). Each trial used 4th passage isolate TCID50 105.5–5.6. Thin lines represent individual animals and bold lines represent smooth local regression (LOESS) curves of all animals in the category (control, inoculated, sentinel). Gray shading indicates 95% confidence bands (t-based approximation). No deaths occurred (with the exception of the death of one goat due to injury unrelated to infection) and no isolates were recovered from cattle.
