  • Title: Further observations on infections of guinea pigs with Venezuelan encephalitis virus strains.
    Author: Scherer WF, Chin J, Ordonez JV.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 1979 Jul; 28(4):725-8. PubMed ID: 464194.
    Abstract:
    Guinea pigs from a Guatemalan colony died after subcutaneous inoculating of moderately small doses of equine-benign strains of Venezuelan encephalitis (VE) virus of hemagglutination-inhibition subtype I-E from enzootic habitats in Mexico and Guatemala. Thus these guinea pigs were unlike English short hair and inbred 13 guinea pigs, which usually survive infections with equine-benign VE strains of subtype I-E. We therefore caution others that not all strains of guinea pigs can be used to evaluate the potential equine virulence of VE viruses.
