Fig. 1: Weight loss and survival in blackbirds.
From: Experimental Usutu virus infection in Eurasian blackbirds (Turdus merula)
a Weight loss is expressed in % of initial weight. The humane endpoint was set at 75% of initial weight (dashed line). Results averaged from three individuals infected with USUV Afr3 and Eu3 and two control individuals, bars represent SD. Statistically significant difference was observed between the Eu3 and ctrls group on 6 d.p.i. as indicated by the asterisk *p = 0.03. b Survival curves of blackbirds. No statistically significant difference was observed in survival among the three groups of blackbirds.
