## Myxomatosis titer data

### Description

Myxomatosis viral titer in blood samples from European rabbits, as a function of day-of-infection and virus grade, from Dwyer et al. 1990, ultimately from Fenner et al. 1956

### Usage

    data(MyxoTiter_sum)

### Format

`grade`

  virus grade (1, least virulent; 5, most virulent)

`day`

  day of infection

`titer`

  blood virus titer (in log10 rabbit infectious doses)

### Examples

    library(lattice)
    xyplot(titer~day|factor(grade),data=MyxoTiter_sum,xlim=c(0,30))
