*NiV, Nipah virus; dpi, days postinfection; U, urine; F, feces; –,negative; NA, not applicable because cage was empty after euthanasia of ferrets; NS, no sample available.
†Calculated from standard curve generated for NiV N gene copies by reverse transcription PCR. Samples with mean cycle threshold ≤39.1 (based on duplicate reactions) were defined as NiV positive.
‡Sample was also NiV positive by virus isolation.
