Differentiation of junin virus and antigenic variants isolated in vivo by kinetic neutralization assays

The major natural reservoir of Junin virus, the aetiological agent of Argentine haemorrhagic fever, is the cricetid Calomys musculinus. Neonatal animals experimentally infected with Junin virus (XJCl3 strain) developed typical disease and approximately 80% of them died. Most survivors become persist...
