Shedding of the virus A/Emu372-E627K by inoculated and airborne contact ferrets. A, С, E, G. Infectious viral titers in nasal washes of donor ferrets (n = 3 per dose) infected with 4.7, 3.7, 2.7 and 1.7 lg EID50 respectively. B, D, F, H. Infectious viral titers in nasal washes of recipient ferrets (n = 3 per dose) which were in an airborne contact with donor ferrets inoculated with 4.7, 3.7, 2.7 and 1.7 lg EID50 respectively. Columns represent individual animal’s titer (mean virus titer ± SD). Dashed lines indicate the lower limit of virus titer detection (1 lg FFU/mL). The asterisk sign indicates the washes from which the viral isolate was isolated in ECE.
