MNV-3 shows fast kinetics of replication in mice. Groups of six mice were infected with a low dose of MNV-3 [10 (•) or 102 (□) TCID50] and secretion of virus was monitored at days 1, 2, 3, 7 and 28 post-infection. MNV-3 shows fast replication kinetics, reaching maximum levels of RNA molecules in stools by day 2 post-infection. Establishment of infection is dose-dependent, with three of six animals inoculated with 102 TCID50, and only one of six animals inoculated with 10 TCID50, being positive for virus shedding at 1 day post-inoculation. Horizontal bars represent mean values.
