Abstract

Korean hemorrhagic fever virus (KHFV) has been adapted to the Wistar and Fisher strains of rats. Infection was detected by the appearance of specific antigen in the lung tissue of the infected rats at 14 to 64 days after inoculation and by the appearance of circulating antibodies in ther serum which reacted specifically with KHFV antigen in the lungs of infected Apodemus agrarius subsp. coreae 3 weeks after inoculation. Distribution of antigen in rat tissues as determined by immunofluorescent staining was the same as that in Apodemus mice except that antigen was present in the spleens of rats. Adaptation of KHFV to the laboratory rat provides an animal model that is free of wild rodent viruses and is readily available for use in studies on the characterization of KHFV.
