Viscerotropic yellow fever virus (YFV) infection occurs primarily in humans and non-human primates. Lack of an appropriate small animal model of viscerotropic YFV infection has been a major deterrent to molecular studies of viscerotropism. A hamster model of viscerotropic YFV infection has recently been described; however, these studies have focused on hamster-viscerotropic strains of YFV (including Asibi hamster...
