Certain Properties of Theiler's Virus,Especially in Relation to Its Use as Model for Poliomyelitis

Abstract

Conclusion

Additional properties of Theiler's virus—both the original and the GD VII—are described. The GD VII virus^§ has been found to differ in several characteristics from the original Theiler's virus; the differences are great enough to make it unusable as a “model” for the study of human poliomyelitis.
