Fig. 1

Individual and average RVFV viral loads in serum over time. Individual viral loads in serum are indicated per each time point post onset of disease: blue squares indicate individual non-fatal cases and red dots indicate individual fatal cases. Median viral loads at each time point are indicated by open blue squares (non-fatal) and red circles (fatal). Certain days are represented by only one data point per data set, in which case no medians are shown (days 5, 6, 10). Maximum two samples for respective days were available from fatal cases, thus averages are shown and not medians
