Neuron-to-Cell Spread of Pseudorabies Virus in a Compartmented Neuronal Culture System

Abstract excerpt

Alphaherpesviruses are parasites of the peripheral nervous system in their natural hosts. After the initial infection of peripheral tissues such as mucosal cells, these neurotropic viruses will invade the peripheral nervous system that innervates the site of infection via long-distance axonal transport of the viral genome.
