  1. Legend: nested PCR was carried on nasal swabs (D7, D28, D56, D70, D84) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) (D84) throughout the trial (Groups A-E: n = 14 pigs per group; group F: n = 8 pigs)
  2. Group A (F7.2C), B (F20.1L), C (B2V1W20 1A-F), D (J strain), E (positive control; non-vaccinated, challenge infected), F (negative control; non-vaccinated, non-challenged).
  3. Within a row, different superscript letters correspond to significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). Group F was not included in the statistical analysis.
