Why the study?
Does reovirus variant 8B induce myocarditis in mice compared to its parent strains?
Does reovirus variant 8B induce myocarditis in mice compared to its parent strains?
Reovirus variant 8B induces myocardial necrosis directly in myocytes, providing a useful preclinical model for studying viral myocarditis.
