Levels of SAV-specific viral RNA in plasma. Viral RNA (nsp1-assay) was normalized against the exogenous spike VHSV. Mean normalized expression (MNE) values were Log2 transformed. Plasma samples were only positive at 7 and 14 dpi. At 7 dpi; 4/4 were SAV-positive in both SAV-groups, whereas 2/5 and 3/5 plasma samples were SAV-positive at 14 dpi in the SNorm and SRed, respectively. Significant differences between the SAV- groups at each time point were tested with a Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test followed by a Dunn's post test. SNorm = SAV-infected, normoxia. SRed = SAV-infected, reduced oxygen conditions. Median values are shown as horizontal lines.
