Infection of Type I Interferon Receptor-Deficient Mice with Various Old World Arenaviruses: A Model for Studying Virulence and Host Species Barriers
22 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Lassa virus causes hemorrhagic Lassa fever in humans, while the related Old World arenaviruses Mopeia, Morogoro, and Mobala are supposedly apathogenic to humans and cause only inapparent infection in non-human primates. Here, we studied whether the virulence of Old World arenaviruses in humans and non-human primates is reflected in type I interferon receptor deficient (IFNAR(-/-)) mice by testing several strains...
