*dpi, days postinoculation; <, titer below limit of detection (<0.75 log10EID50/mL). Virus titers were determined in eggs and are expressed as the log10 50% egg infectious dose (EID50)/mL (8). Data are presented as means ± standard deviation of titers of positive samples (≥0.75 log10 EID50/mL).
†Percentage of contact birds from which virus was isolated.
‡p<0.05, by 1-way analysis of variance.
