Abstract excerpt
Simian rotavirus (RRV) and murine rotavirus (EDIM-RW) differ dramatically in the oral inoculum required to cause diarrheal disease in neonatal mouse pups and in their ability to spread and cause disease in uninoculated littermates. A genetic approach was used to explore the molecular basis of these differences. Reassortant viruses were produced in vivo by coinfecting infant mice with RRV and EDIM-RW. Reassortant...
