*Grams are refereed to the weight of the tumor mass or the spleen homogenized.

TCID50 is defined by end-point dilution at which virus is able to infect 50% of cell cultures in an in vitro assay. The interpolation to obtain the tissue culture infectious dose 50% (TCID50) has been performed by the Reed and Muench method.

This monkey was splenectomized 1 year after infection.

Abbreviation: ND, not determined.
