Estimated environment viral loads in groups 1 to 6. The average quantity of genome equivalent per gram of feces shed in the environment was first evaluated (dots) at each sampling-time. The environmental viral load (full lines) corresponds to the accumulation of viral particles in the environment through fecal shedding by infected animals, which is partially compensated by a clearance rate.
