  1. Results of zero-inflated Poisson regression model.
  2. aFor each one unit increase in the numbers of CD163 positive cells/mm2 of endometrium, PRRSV RNA concentration in fetal thymus increases by 0.004 log10 copies/mg.
  3. bFor each one unit increase in the numbers of CD163 positive cells/mm2 of fetal placenta PRRSV RNA concentration in the fetal thymus decreases by 0.002 log10 copies/mg.
  4. cFor each one unit change in the numbers of CD163 positive cells/mm2 of endometrium the odds of PRRSV RNA concentration in fetal thymus being equal to 0 (zero) decreases 1.045 times (e−0.044).
  5. dFor each one unit change in the numbers of CD163 positive cells/mm2 of fetal placenta the odds of PRRSV RNA concentration in the fetal thymus being equal to 0 (zero) increases 1.006 times (e0.006).
  6. eBased on the distribution of data, a count model was used after categorizing PRRSV RNA concentration into nine 1 − log10 replicates, from 0 to 9 log10 copies/mg.
  7. fThe logit portion of the model predicts the odds of a fetus being negative (PRRSV RNA concentration = 0) from the population of fetuses from infected and negative control gilts.
