Pair wise statistical comparison of all mouse strains presented in figure 1.

p-values for significance were calculated for all pair wise comparisons between strains and for all days shown in figure 1 using non-parametric Mann-Whitney-U-test. Day 3: the susceptible strain DBA/2J showed significant differences in weight loss compared to the resistant strains C57BL/6J (p<0.001) and FVB (p<0.01); the susceptible strain A/J showed significant weight loss compared to all resistant strains (BALB/c: p<0.01; FVB: p<0.001; CBA: p<0.05; SJL: p<0.01). Days 4, 5, 6, 7: the susceptible strains DBA/2J and A/J showed significant differences in weight loss compared to all resistant strains (in almost all cases with p<0,001; except for day 6 between DBA/2J and C57BL/6J: p<0.01). Strain C57BL/6J exhibited significant differences in weight loss compared to the BALB/c mouse strain at days 2–4 (p<0.001 at days 2 and 3, p<0.05 at day 4) but not at later time points. On days 6 and 7, FVB differed significantly from all other strains (p-values from <0.05 to <0.001).
