Figure 2From: Immunity raised by recent European subtype 1 PRRSV strains allows better replication of East European subtype 3 PRRSV strain Lena than that raised by an older strain Body temperature and respiratory disease scoring after challenge. Lines represent the mean value in each group. Dotted line gives the mean values of the control group. Temperatures of ≥39.5 °C were considered as fever (dashed line). Respiratory disease scores ranged from 0 to 6: 0 = normal; 1 = mild dyspnea and/or tachypnea when stressed; 2 = mild dyspnea and/or tachypnea at rest; 3 = moderate dyspnea and/or tachypnea when stressed; 4 = moderate dyspnea and/or tachypnea at rest; 5 = severe dyspnea and/or tachypnea when stressed; 6 = severe dyspnea and/or tachypnea at rest. Asterisk represents statistically discernible differences from the control (p < 0.05).Back to article page
