Abstract
Following the establishment of a chronic varicella-zoster virus infection i n the rat, behavioural allodynia and hyperalgesia were observed in the inje cted, but not the contralateral hind limb up to 33 days post-infection. Thi s model may prove useful in investigating mechanisms involved in the establ ishment of post-herpetic neuralgia.
