Pathogenicity and peramivir efficacy in immunocompromised murine models of influenza B virus infection

Abstract Influenza B viruses are important human pathogens that remain inadequately studied, largely because available animal models are poorly defined. Here, we developed an immunocompromised murine models for influenza B virus infection, which we subsequently used to study pathogenicity and to exa...
