Cynomolgus macaques (n = 3) were inoculated with the virus on day 0. (a) Averages and
549
standard deviations of body temperature and (b) heart rate were determined by using a telemetry
550
probe system during the night (from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.) and data were adjusted to day -1. (c,
551
d) Averages and standard deviations of food consumption and body weight are shown. (c) Food
552
consumption was estimated by the following formation: food consumption = [(number of pellets
553
given in the morning - number of pellets left at night)/number of pellets given in the morning] ×
554
100 (%). (d) Body weight was monitored every day. Statistical differences among groups are

MDCK cells were infected with the virus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01 and
571
cultured with antiviral drugs of various concentrations: (a) oseltamivir, (b, d) peramivir, and (c)
572
amantadine. Sensitivity of the inoculum virus (a-c) and the virus recovered from a tonsil of
573
macaque P2 on day 7 (d) was examined. The supernatant of each well was collected at 24 h and
574
48 h after virus infection. Then virus titers in the supernatants were determined by the Reed
