HISTOPATHOLOGY OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN SWISS MICE INTRACEREBRALLY INOCULATED WITH 17-D STRAIN OF YELLOW FEVER VIRUS.

Summary Adult mice inoculated intracerebrally with a suspension of 17D yellow fever virus were studied by histopathological methods. A myelitis, localized especially in the ventral horns of the lumbar spinal cord, was found. Speculation is made on a possible viral infection through the cerebrospinal fluid, and a similarity with the lesions produced by the poliomyelitis virus in man is pointed out.
