Abstract excerpt
The virulent phenotypes of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) can be divided into neuroinvasiveness (NI) and neurovirulence (NV). In this study, two JEV antigenic variants, CH2195LA (large-plaque, attenuated) and CH2195SA (small-plaque, non-attenuated), were passaged in suckling mice by intracerebral inoculation. Viruses at passage two and four were characterized in terms of NV and NI in weaning mice, as well as...
