In central nervous system (CNS) tissue preparations, wild-type Semliki Forest virus (SFV) mainly infects neurons, and in vivo it causes lethal encephalitis in neonatal and adult rodents. The SFV strain A7(74), by contrast, is avirulent in adult rodents, triggering only limited CNS infection. To examine A7(74) infection in hippocampal tissue, the authors constructed a replicon, termed SFV(A774nsP)-GFP, expressing...
