Identification of Tettnang virus ('possible arbovirus') as mouse hepatitis virus.
Virus isolation attempts in specific-pathogen-free suckling mice (strain ICR) yielded 21 virus strains initially shown to be closely related to or identical with Tettnang virus. Subsequent studies showed them, as well as standard strains of Tettnang virus, to be closely related to or identical with mouse hepatitis virus. Tettnang virus is not an arbovirus.
