The Laboratory Opossum (<em>Monodelphis domestica</em>) Is a Unique Model for Zika Virus Infection, Transmission, and Immune Response

2024-08-07

Abstract excerpt

The Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic elicited a rapid commitment to the development of animal models for ZIKV research. Non-human primates (NHPs) and mice have made significant contributions to this research, but NHPs are expensive, have a long gestation period, and are available only in small numbers; and non-genetically modified mice are resistant to infection. To address these deficiencies, we have established the la...
