Pathogenesis of pseudorabies virus in mouse placenta: insights into maternal–infant transmission mechanisms
Pseudorabies virus can be transmitted vertically by disrupting the barrier function of the placenta. Maternal viremia drives preferential PRV replication within the placenta. PRV preferentially colonizes decidual and labyrinthine placental regions. PRV can cause pregnancy failure via inflammation.
