Figure 8. Violin plots of airway conducting IHC scores, by virus strain and dpi, of swine infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus belonging to the goose/Guangdong 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin phylogenetic clade. A) Lung conducting airway immunohistochemical scores. Influenza A virus (IAV) nucleoprotein (NP) antigen detection varied by group with the most extensive labeling (the number of positive pigs) being observed in the A/bald eagle/FL/22 and A/red fox/MI/22 groups. B) Lung nonconducting airway immunohistochemical scores. IAV NP antigen detection varied by group with the most extensive labeling being observed in the A/bald eagle/FL/22. Solid lines within plots indicate medians, dashed lines indicate quartiles, and symbols indicate individual pig values. dpi, days postinoculation; eagle 3 dpi, A/bald eagle/FL/22 necropsied at 3 dpi; eagle 5 dpi, A/bald eagle/FL/22 necropsied at 5 dpi; fox 3 dpi, A/redfox/MI/22 necropsied at 3 dpi; fox 5 dpi, A/redfox/MI/22 necropsied at 5 dpi; IHC, immunohistochemistry; racoon 3 dpi, A/raccoon/WA/22 necropsied at 3 dpi; racoon 5 dpi, A/raccoon/WA/22 necropsied at 5 dpi; turkey 3 dpi, A/turkey/MN/22 necropsied at 3 dpi; turkey 5 dpi, A/turkey/MN/22 necropsied at 5 dpi.
