Comparing arenavirus infection patterns in experimentally and naturally infected rodent hosts

Joachim Mariën, Benny Borremans, Sophie Gryseels, Bram Vanden Broecke, Beate Becker-Ziaja, Rhodes Makundi, Apia Massawe, Jonas Reijniers, Herwig Leirs

The paper compares Morogoro arenavirus infection patterns in naturally and experimentally infected mice, finding that 52% of natural infections match lab data, with mismatches attributed to chronic infections, maternal antibodies, and detection limits.
