[The study of experimental and natural rotavirus infection in mice using a heterologous enzyme immunoassay test-system]. / Izuchenie éksperimental'noi i estestvennoi rotavirusnoi infektsii myshei s pomoshch'iu geterologichnykh test-sistem immunofermentnogo analiza.

Enzyme immunoassay test systems constructed on the basis of heterologous calf and monkey rotaviruses were shown to be applicable for diagnosis and study of the pathogenesis of experimental and natural rotavirus infection of mice.

Experimental infection of Norvegian rats (Rattus norvegicus) with ratpox virus.

Young as well as adult free living Norvegian rats (Rattus norvegicus) were highly susceptible to intranasal, intradermal and natural infections with the ratpox virus belonging to genus Orthopoxvirus. Disseminated disease occurred in infected rats due to generalization of the virus to internal organs. In survivors, virus was excreted for a longer period of time (more than 1 month) in faeces and urine.
