  • Title: Survey for antibodies to selected viruses in laboratory mice in South Africa.
    Author: Van Vuuren M, De Klerk WA, De Beer MC, Van Niekerk TA.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1990 Dec; 61(4):174-5. PubMed ID: 9022849.
    Abstract:
    Serum samples (n = 184) from 3 conventional laboratory mouse colonies were tested for antibodies with an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV), encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and reovirus Type 3. The percentage of mice with antibodies to reovirus Type 3, were comparable in all 3 groups, namely 40, 46 and 60%. Antibodies to TMEV showed the greatest variation, namely 0, 10 and 31%, whereas antibodies to EMCV were confirmed in only one colony (7%). In addition, 98 serum samples from 2 other colonies yielded 69% animals positive for rotavirus with the IFA test.
