Abstract The filoviruses Ebola EBOV and Marburg MARV cause a lethal hemorrhagic fever. Human isolates of MARV are not lethal to immmunocompetent adult mice and to date there are no reports of a mouse-adapted MARV model. Previously a uniformly lethal EBOV-Zaire mouse-adapted virus was developed by performing 9 sequential passages in progressively older mice suckling to adult . Evaluation of this model identified many similarities between infection in mice and nonhuman primates including viral tropism for antigen-presenting cells high viral titers in the spleen and liver and an equivalent mean time to death. Existence of the EBOV mouse model has increased our understanding of host responses to filovirus infections and .
