Main Article

Figure 4

Viral RNA copy numbers in organs from 10 carrion crows (2 per group) euthanized 4 days after being experimentally infected with 1 of 5 different West Nile virus strains (n = 6, per group). Virus titers are represented as log-transformed medians; error bars indicate range. The assay had a detection limit of 9 (1.0 log10) RNA copies/g of tissue. H, heart; L, liver; S, spleen; K, kidney; Bo, bone marrow; Br, brain.
