Experimental infection of suckling mice with a host range mutant of junin virus

Experimental infection of three mouse strains with a non‐pathogenic mutant of Junin virus named C167 was compared with respect to the parental XJC13 strain. After intracerebral (ic) or intraperitoneal inoculation, XJC13 was highly virulent for 2 day‐old C3H/HeJ, OF1, and BALB/cJ mouse strains, where...
