Change from baseline in various blood cell counts following challenge of CMs with CHIKV. Counts of (a) neutrophils, (b) lymphocytes, (c) monocytes, and (d) platelets in CMs challenged by ID inoculation (left graphs) or by aerosol (right graphs) were determined on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 13 post-challenge. Mean changes from baseline blood cell counts are shown with standard normal 95% confidence intervals for each group. * - group mean parameter significantly decreased compared to baseline at 0.05 level; # - group mean parameter significantly increased compared to baseline at 0.05 level; numbers in parentheses represent the number of groups significantly different from baseline at that time point
