Bull Exp Biol Med. 2021 Sep;171(5):671-675. doi: 10.1007/s10517-021-05291-4. Epub 2021 Oct 7.

Abstract

We studied the localization and severity of morphological changes in CNS and internal organs of animals intacerebrally infected with a low-attenuated rubella virus strain "Orlov-14". The data obtained can be used as morphological criteria reflecting low level of attenuation of rubella virus strains to improve the control of the safety of attenuated strains of live rubella vaccines.

Keywords: Macaca mulatta monkeys; attenuation; intracerebral inoculation; rubella virus.
