title: Factors influencing susceptibility of laboratory rodents to infection with mouse adenovirus strains K 87 and FL. Brief report.
abstract: Weanling outbred mice were more than 500 times less susceptible to orally administered mouse adenovirus (MAdV) strain K 87 than to MAdV-FL. Mouse susceptibility to MAdV-K 87 was age-dependent but not obviously host genotype-dependent. Infant F 344 rats were not susceptible to infection with either MAdV strain.
