Figure 1From: Evaluating the potential of whole-genome sequencing for tracing transmission routes in experimental infections and natural outbreaks of bovine respiratory syncytial virusSchematic outline of Experiment G. A BRSV strain (BRSV/Sweden/HPIG-SLU-620-Lovsta/2016) was isolated from a conventional calf in a natural BRSV outbreak and used to inoculate two calves (7960 and 2035), by aerosol. Bronchoalveolar lavages obtained on 7Â days post-infection from these calves were used to inoculate calves 7970 and 7971, respectively. Bronchoalveolar lavage was obtained on 7Â days post-infection from calf 7971 was then used to inoculate four new calves. The calves were separated in isolated pens (together with immunised companion calves), to avoid cross-contamination between the animals.Back to article page
