Summary of rash duration, lesion number, and disease severity of control and experimental animal groups following acute SVV infection.

Abstract

<p>The number of lesions for each group was determined by averaging the lesions observed on the abdomen of each animal within each group at 10dpi. The disease severity of each group was determined by averaging the assigned severity score (based on the size and duration of observed vesicles) of each animal within each group (1–2 = mild; 3–4 = moderate; 5 = severe).</p
