Fig. 9From: Laboratory investigation into the role of largemouth bass virus (Ranavirus, Iridoviridae) in smallmouth bass mortality events in Pennsylvania riversEffects of co-infecting largemouth bass virus (LMBV)-infected smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) with bacteria: a Flavobacterium columnare. Both experimental infections were performed at a water temperature of 28 °C. b Aeromonas salmonicida. Experimental infection with LMBV took place at a water temperature of 28 °C, while that of A. salmonicida was performed when the water temperature dropped to 20 °C. Data are displayed as box plots of cumulative mortality (%) displaying the median and upper/lower quartiles; whiskers indicate the maximum and minimum values in each group. Different superscript letters indicate significant difference (P < 0.05) Back to article page
