Following acute encephalitis, Semliki Forest virus is undetectable in the brain by infectivity assays but functional virus RNA capable of generating infectious virus persists for life
Alphaviruses are mosquito-transmitted RNA viruses which generally cause acute disease including mild febrile illness, rash, arthralgia, myalgia and more severely, encephalitis. In the mouse, peripheral infection with Semliki Forest virus (SFV) results in encephalitis. With non-virulent strains, infe...
