Figure 2From: Highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus (H5N1) can be transmitted in ferrets by transfusion Changes in weights of ferrets (recipients) transfused with blood from infected donor animals. Ferrets (recipients) were transfused with blood from infected donor animals on the day post-infection when blood was collected, day 2 (A), 4 (B), 6 (C), 10 (D). The weights of ferrets were measured daily. The loss or gain of weight was calculated for each ferret as the percent change in the initial mean starting weight on day 0. Values are the averages ± SD for the ferret(s) alive for each group.Back to article page
