Coinfection with virulent viruses (Experiment 1).

aChickens were inoculated with 2,000 PFU of vUL47-eGFP or vUL47-mRFP, or with a mixture of 1,000 PFU of vUL47-eGFP and vUL47-mRFP each at 7 days of age. bSkin samples were collected at 28 days post-inoculation (p.i.). cThe number of follicles examined for each chicken. dThe number of follicles positive for green fluorescence (vUL47-eGFP replication) and percent follicles infected per group. eThe number of follicles positive for red fluorescence (vUL47-mRFP replication) and percent follicles infected per group. fThe number of follicles positive for both green and red fluorescence and percent follicles infected with both viruses per group. gThe number of regions within follicles that were positive for both green and red fluorescence and the total per group.
