Abstract excerpt
The attenuated West Nile virus 25A strain (WN25A) was investigated for its neuroinvasive properties in B-cell-deficient (microMT) mice. After peripheral inoculation, WN25A caused fatal encephalitis in the majority of 6-8-week-old mice, characterized by a systemic infection with viraemia, moderate virus burdens in peripheral tissues and a high titre of brain-associated virus. Mice generally succumbed to infection...
