Table
General linear model of the effects of different parameters on the titer of ASFV in experimentally infected Ornithodoros erraticus ticks*
| Parameter | Maximum likelihood estimator (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| Constant | 1.4985 (0.7084 to 2.2610)† |
| ASFV strain | –1.3620 (–2.4007 to –0.3482)† |
| Dose | 2.1538 (1.5889 to 2.7316)† |
| Time after feeding (effect per week) | 0.6494 (0.5546 to 0.7481)† |
| Isolate–time interaction | –0.0025 (–0.1400 to 0.1363)‡ |
*Ticks were fed pig blood with 4 log10 or 6 log10 HAD50/mL ASFV strain Georgia 2007/1 or strain OURT88/1. ASFV, African swine fever virus; HAD50, 50% hemadsorbing doses.
†Statistically significant, p<0.01.
‡Not significant (p>0.05).
