A culture of monkey cells (Vero) and a group of mouse sucklings were infected with an inoculum taken from a child with provisional diagnosis "enterovirus infection". There was no cytopathic effect on the cell culture but mouse sucklings died. What enteric viruses might have caused disease of this child?
- A. ECHO virus
- B. Coxsackie B
- C. Polioviruses
- D. Coxsackie A
- E. Unclassified enteric viruses 68-71
Hint
Combine the two laboratory findings, no damage to the cell line but death of very young animals, and recall how enterovirus groups differ in these properties.
