Interference of the Neurotropic Strain of Rift Valley Fever Virus with the Pantropic Strain in Mice

Abstract

The infection of mice with the pantropic strain of Rift Valley virus can be inhibited by an intraperitoneal injection of the neurotropic strain. The neutralizing antibodies do not appear until 3 or 4 days after injection of the neurotropic strain and they would not interfere with the present inhibition. The neurotropic strain injected intraperitoneally interfered with the pantropic strain regardless of the manner in which the pantropic virus was injected. Injected subcutaneously, the neurotropic strain interfered only with the pantropic strain injected subcutaneously.
