Fig. 4: Milk samples contain high levels of viral RNA.

Milk samples were collected daily. Samples were titrated by qPCR and viral loads were expressed as log10TCID50eq/ml. Viral loads for the front right (infected), rear left (infected), front left (non-infected), and rear right (non-infected) quarters of cows #2 (a), #3 (b), and #4 (c). Colored symbols represent infected quarters while clear symbols represent non-infected quarters. Samples with undetected virus titers were assigned the limit of detection value (LOD, 0.699 Log10 TCID50 equivalent/mL). The gray shaded area represents viral loads prior to infection (day −1).
