West Nile virus infection of adult mice by oral route

H A Odelola et al. Arch Virol. 1977.

Abstract

Adult Swiss albino mice were fed orally with suspensions of a strain of West Nile virus isolated in Nigeria. Most of these mice became sick and died 7 days post feeding and virus was recovered from organs of such infected mice. Histological lesions were observed in some tissues and antibody to the strain of West Nile virus developed in mice that survived infection.
