Cytogenetic effects of replicating and nonreplicating strains of influenza virus on male germ cells of mice.
Evidence is presented to demonstrate that replicating (A2 and B) and nonreplicating (C) strains of influenza virus were capable of inducing higher percentages of chromosomes anomalies in spermatocytes of mice inoculated either IP or IN than were seen in controls.
