Abstract:Orthohantaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that can infect humans via the respiratory tract. There is a clear unmet need for an in vivo model to study orthohantavirus infection in physiologically relevant tissue and to determine the broad reactivity of novel orthohantavirus countermeasures. Here, we describe the use of a human lung xenograft mouse model to study the permissiveness for different orthohantavirus species and to assess its utility for preclinical testing of pan-orthohantavirus therapeutics.
