TL;DR: Constitutive expression of viral proteins leads to common pathologic features of hepatitis C in the absence of specific anti-viral immune responses, while additional low level expression of nonstructural proteins increases the risk of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pirital virus (Arenaviridae) infection in the syrian golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus: a new animal model for arenaviral hemorrhagic fever.
TL;DR: The Pirital virus-hamster model is a very promising new small animal model for studying the pathogenesis of arenavirus infections, particularly, the mechanism of direct virus-induced hepatic injury, and may also be useful for testingantiviral agents for treatment of werenaviral hemorrhagic fevers.
