Asymptomatic infection of mouse hepatitis virus in the rat. Brief report

F Taguchi et al. Arch Virol. 1979.

Abstract

After intranasal inoculation of suckling rats mouse hepatitis virus multiplied mostly in the nasal epithelium; though there were no symptoms, antibodies were produced. Antibodies were also demonstrated in adult rats. These findings suggest that the rat may be a natural host for the virus.
