A Selenium-Deficient Mouse Model of Mouse-Adapted SARS-CoV-2 Demonstrates Variant Emergence Observed in SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Variants

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Host selenium deficiency has been shown to generate novel genetic variants in RNA viruses. With the predicted rise of selenium deficiency globally, we sought to determine if host selenium deficiency can be a predictive factor for RNA virus variant emergence. We utilized a selenium-deficient BALB/c mouse model to investigate how host selenium status influences the emergence of viral variants in mouse-adapted SARS-C...
