Response of Ferrets and Monkeys to Intranasal Infection with Human, Equine and Avian Influenza Viruses

P Marois 1, A Boudreault 1, E DiFranco 1, V Pavilanis 1
PMCID: PMC1319544  PMID: 4251419

Abstract

Rhesus monkeys and ferrets were exposed to intranasal inoculation of several strains of egg-adapted avian, equine and human influenza viruses and to strains of mouse-adapted equine influenza viruses. Local replication of virus and seroconversion were observed in the majority of these animals. However, clinical infection was observed only in ferrets.
