Generation of a Murine Model with a Central Nervous System Infection
Source: Shen, T., et al. A Murine Model of Dengue Virus-induced Acute Viral Encephalitis-like Disease. J. Vis. Exp. (2019) This video demonstrates the generation of a mouse model with a CNS infection. A suckling pup is injected with the virus both intracranially and intraperitoneally. The virus spreads, infecting the CNS causing neuronal cell death and inflammation. The pup is assessed for symptoms of infection as the disease progresses.
