Abstract
Laboratory studies of arenaviruses have been limited to parenteral rou tes of infection; however, recent epidemiological studies implicate vi rus ingestion as a natural route of infection. Accordingly, we develop ed a model for oral and gastric infection with lymphocytic choriomenin gitis virus to enable studies of mucosal transmission and vaccination by this additional route.
