Myxomatosis titer data

Description

Myxomatosis viral titer in blood samples from European rabbits, as a function of day-of-infection and virus grade, from Dwyer et al. 1990, ultimately from Fenner et al. 1956

Usage

data(MyxoTiter_sum)

Format

grade

virus grade (1, least virulent; 5, most virulent)

day

day of infection

titer

blood virus titer (in log10 rabbit infectious doses)

Note
