qPCR data from faeces and ileum mucosa samples were log10 transformed (after adding 1 to avoid zeros) and expressed in log10 pg DNA/μl. The average values were plotted with the 95% confidence interval where no overlap indicates statistical significance.
In addition, the AUC was calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule as a measure of total shedding over time. The AUC of the qPCR data of faeces, the faeces qPCR data on day 21 and the qPCR data of the ileum mucosa on day 21 were statistically analysed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using Tukey’s post-hoc test to compare groups.
