Research Abstract |
Flaviviruses include many clinically important zoonotic pathogens, and some of them cause severe encephalitis in humans and domestic animals. In study, we showed that congenic mice expressing intact Oas1b can be applied for detailed analysis of pathogenicity of flavivirus encephalitis. Furthermore, we revealed that mutations which arose during adaptation in mammals increased the virulence of tick-borne flaviviruses.
