EPIDEMIOLOGY/CI DYNAMICS IN FERRETS


 * Prior infection with IV of donors enhanced SP transmission and disease (MCCULLERS et al., 2010).
 * CI increased nasal wash bacterial titers and the percentage of contacts infected (MCCULLERS et al., 2010).
 * Viral infection of contact ferrets increased their susceptibility to acquisition both in terms of percentage infected and distance over which they could acquire infection (MCCULLERS et al., 2010).
 * The incidence of mucosal and invasive disease are increased folowing CI (MCCULLERS et al., 2010).
