Woodchuck hepatitis virus infection: serologic and histopathologic course and outcome

J Lindberg et al. Eur J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Feb.

Abstract

Five out of seven American woodchucks inoculated with woodchuck hepatitis virus developed antigenemia after 2 to 13 weeks followed by an antibody response. One animal became a carrier, and another animal exhibited a primary antibody response. Clinical disease was not obvious and aminotransferase elevation could not be demonstrated. Liver biopsy showed mononuclear portal infiltration and little parenchymal cell necrosis.
