Figure 4: Significant differences in the replication of IMNV in infected shrimp in relation to the salinity and time. Differences between the logarithm of the mean copy number of IMNV in control shrimps acclimated to a salinity of 35 g L-1 (numbered #1) and infected individuals at a salinity of 5 g L-1 (#2), 15 g L-1 (#3), 25 g L-1 (#4), or 35 g L-1 (#5) were monitored at time 0 h (A), 6 h (B) and 12 h (C). As mentioned in the legend of figure 3, the significance level is indicated on top of the bar, and “ns” denotes “no statistically significant difference”. |
