Figure 4: Virus shedding and proportion of genotypes in nasal wash from ferrets infected with a mixture of genotypes with transmission by direct contact or respiratory droplet routes.

From: Contact transmission of influenza virus between ferrets imposes a looser bottleneck than respiratory droplet transmission allowing propagation of antiviral resistance

Figure 4

Infectious virus shed in nasal wash obtained from ferrets after infection or exposure to infected ferrets is plotted as PFU/ml on the right hand side y axis. The percentage of genotype B1 (green) or B2 (blue) established by pyrosequencing RNA extracted from nasal wash is plotted on the left hand side y axis.
