Distribution and quantity of koala retrovirus (KoRV) subtypes in koalas with and without disease. Box and whisker plots showing median and interquartile ranges of log10 KoRV levels in genomic DNA (copies/ug) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and/or tissues obtained at necropsy on the left and the plasma (copies/mL) and/or tissue (copies/ug) RNA levels on the right of each panel. Numbers in parentheses indicate number of koalas tested for blood and tissue samples. All tissues for each animal were included and multiple blood samples from each koala were averaged. Other cancers include osteoma, metastatic sarcoma, osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, and mammary carcinoma. Other causes of death include anemia, weight loss, old age, euthanasia, acute respiratory illness, torsion, intussusception, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, intestinal volvulus, unknown, and early pouch young death. The ends of the whiskers extend to the largest (smallest) value less than (greater than) or equal to 1.5 interquartile ranges above (below) the third (first) quartile, respectively. Observations beyond the whiskers are indicated by open circles. Samples with test results below the limit of detection were not included in the plots
