My. Lub et al., CLINICAL AND VIROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE DISEASE IN GUINEA-PIGS AEROGENICALLY INFECTED WITH MARBURG VIRUS, Voprosy virusologii, 40(3), 1995, pp. 119-121
Marburg virus (strain Popp) was found to accumulate in various organs
of guinea pigs after aerogenic infection. At the initial stage of the
infection primary multiplication of the virus took place in the lungs.
The presence of the virus in bronchopulmonary washings 2-3 days after
infection, leukopenia and hyperthermia 4 days after infection are the
earliest virological and clinical signs of disease in aerogenically i
nfected guinea pigs.
