A safe, convenient, and economical small animal model of arenavirus hemorrhagic fever is based on guinea pigs infected by the arenavirus Pichinde (PICV). PICV does not cause disease in humans, but an adapted strain of PICV (P18) causes a disease in guinea pigs that mimics arenavirus hemorrhagic fever in humans in many aspects, while a low-passaged strain (P2) remains avirulent in infected animals. In order to identify the virulence determinants within the PICV genome, we developed the molecular clones for both the avirulent P2 and virulent P18 viruses. Recombinant viruses were generated by transfecting plasmids that contain the antigenomic L and S RNA segments of PICV under the control of the T7 promoter into BSRT7-5 cells, which constitutively express T7 RNA polymerase. By analyzing viral growth kinetics in vitro and virulence in vivo, we show that the recombinant viruses accurately recapitulate the replication and virulence natures of their respective parental viruses. Both parental and recombinant virulent viruses led to high levels of viremia and titers in different organs of the infected animals, whereas the avirulent viruses were effectively controlled and cleared by the hosts. These novel infectious clones for the PICV provide essential tools to identify the virulence factors that are responsible for the severe VHF-like disease in infected animals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jvi.00019-09","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,23]],"date-time":"2009-04-23T00:34:56Z","timestamp":1240446896000},"page":"6357-6362","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Development of Infectious Clones for Virulent and Avirulent Pichinde Viruses: a Model Virus To Study Arenavirus-Induced Hemorrhagic Fevers"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Shuiyun","family":"Lan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"McLay Schelde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jialong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hinh","family":"Ly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuying","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30322"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","first-page":"228","volume":"145","year":"1994","unstructured":"Aronson, J.
