Temperature variation in mice infected with Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W and Y isolates. Temperature was measured transcutaneously using an infrared device 3 h and 24 h post- infection and expressed as differences in °C from the temperature before infection for each individual mouse in each group as indicated. The mean differences and standard errors are shown for each group. *** indicates the level of the significant difference in temperature between mice infected with serogroup W isolates compared to serogroup Y infected mice (p < 0.0001). * indicates the level of the significant difference between mice infected with the invasive serogroup W UK 2013 strain compared to mice infected with the UK 2013 strain isolates from the nasopharynx/throat (p < 0.01)
