RT-qPCR for EBOV (A, B) or MARV (C, D) RNA in the oral (A, C) or rectal (B, D) swabs. Limit of detection 1.63 log10 copies/mL. E Infectious titer of EBOV in the oral swabs. Limit of detection 0.5 log10 TCID50/mL. F Infectious titer of EBOV in the rectal swabs in span of days where viral RNA was detected in swabs. Limit of detection 0.5 log10 TCID50/mL. G Infectious titer of MARV in the oral swabs at baseline and on day 6 post-challenge. Limit of detection 0.5 log10 TCID50/mL.
