title: Vascular clearance of venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis viruses as a correlate to virulence for rhesus monkeys.
abstract: The epizootic Trinidad donkey strain of Venezuelan equime encephalomyelitis virus (VEE) was cleared slowly from the circulation of rhesus monkeys following intravenous inoculation, while the live, attenuated vaccine strain, TC-83, was cleared rapidly. The efficent clearance of TC-83 vaccine may be a factor in the lower viremia and benign course of TC-83 virus infection in rhesus monkeys.
