Abstract excerpt
Fourteen clones of Candid 1 strain of Junin virus were studied in terms of their attenuation and stability for 9 days-old mice. The cluster analysis of the efficiency of lethal infection, namely the virulence (lethality) indicates (PFU/LD50) of the clones showed that the strain population is heterogeneous. It is constituted by subpopulations with lower and higher virulence as compared to the parent strain....
