title: Murine infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus following gastric inoculation.
abstract: Laboratory studies of arenaviruses have been limited to parenteral routes of infection; however, recent epidemiological studies implicate virus ingestion as a natural route of infection. Accordingly, we developed a model for oral and gastric infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus to enable studies of mucosal transmission and vaccination by this additional route.
