- AR (Attack Rate) is the ratio of confirmed TSE positive mice over the number of inoculated mice (n = 20).
- HR (Hit Rate) is the ratio of TSE positive mice over the number of animals encountered after the first positive clinical animal.
- IP (Incubation Period) was recorded as days post inoculation and values indicate mean ± standard deviation. Only clinically and TSE confirmed positive mice were included in the IP assessment.
