Cytopathic effects due to NeabNPV infection resulting in reduction in the microvillar border and nuclear hypertrophy based on mean values of the proportional surface area of each compared with the area of the affected cells from 0 to 72 hpi. Proportional mean values and standard deviations (SD) were determined for each time point. Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric and Dunn’s multiple comparison tests were performed for each cytopathic effect to obtain a measure of the statistical significance of each trait over the course of infection. All Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed significant differences between the time points with a KW value of 52.74 or greater.
