Comparative pathogenicity of vaccinia virus and mpox virus infections in CAST/EiJ mice: Exploring splenomegaly and transcriptomic profiles. [PDF]
We successfully constructed CAST/EiJ mice models infected with low‐dose vaccinia virus (VACV‐L), high‐dose VACV (VACV‐H), and mpox virus (MPXV), demonstrating that VACV‐L and MPXV infections induced splenomegaly in mice, and VACV‐H infection caused mortality in mice.
