New animal models for hepatitis C viral infection and pathogenesis studies [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In man, the pathobiological changes associated with HCV infection have been attributed to both the immune system and direct viral cytopathic effects.

The Hepatitis E Virus Open Reading Frame 2 Protein: Beyond Viral Capsid
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic pathogen causing hepatitis in both human and animal hosts, which is responsible for acute hepatitis E outbreaks worldwide. The 7.2 kb genome of the HEV encodes three well-defined open reading frames (ORFs), where the

Experimental Viral Hepatitis in the Dog: Production of Persistent Disease in Partially Immune Animals* [PDF]
Experimental infection with canine hepatitis virus has been studied in a series of 49 dogs. The pattern of response to infection was distinctly modified by the immune status of the animal. All of 19 fully susceptible dogs had an acute, fulminating fatal hepatitis when infected with a standard dose of virus, and all of 19 dogs with high levels of ...

Infectious canine hepatitis: animal model for viral-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation [PDF]
The objective of this study was to characterize the hemostatic defect in dogs with infectious canine hepatitis (ICH), a naturally occurring viral disease of dogs. Five littermate dogs were inoculated with 10(3) TCID50 of ICH virus intravenously. Two littermates were controls. The clinicopathologic manifestations of ICH were fever, depression, anorexia,
