Abstract excerpt
Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is a principal viral cause of acute myocarditis in humans and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy. The natural genetic determinants of cardiovirulence for CVB3 have not been identified, although using strains engineered in the laboratory, it has been demonstrated elsewhere that, for several wild-type CB3 strains, the primary molecular determinant of...
