Biological profile of a virus belonging to California encephalitis complex isolated in Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

D K Lvov et al. Acta Virol. 1989 Aug.

Abstract

We investigated in white mice and in Syrian hamsters the pathogenesis of infection with a virus belonging to the California encephalitis complex isolated in the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The pathogenic properties of the virus were investigated also in green monkeys. The localization and character of lesions in the organs of given animals appeared to be similar. The virus appeared to possess neurotropic activity, it propagated in the animal body by haematogenous route. The virus was found to be heat-resistant and pH-sensitive.
