In #hamsters, #WCBV was highly pathogenic, determining 100% #lethality and mild #encephalitis. In comparison with Duvenhage virus (DUVV) and #RABV, we found that WCBV displayed an intermediate ability to promote cellular antiviral response, produce pro-inflammatory #cytokines, recruit and activate #lymphocytes in the hamsters central nervous system.
