Figure 2. Serological response to infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in a domestic ferret, Slovenia. Immunofluorescent tests showed a negative result in the ferret’s acute serum sample obtained on day 6 after disease onset (A) and a positive reaction at titer 1:64 in the ferret’s convalescent serum sample obtained on day 19 (B). The neutralization test (C) showed the highest dilution of the ferret’s convalescent serum sample that inhibited a cytopathic effect in >2 of 3 wells to be 1:320.
