Potential Ebola Vaccines, Treatments – Improved Mouse Model Will Accelerate Research
CHAPEL HILL, NC – In the war against Ebola, one important hurdle has just been cleared – by a mouse.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and colleagues have developed the first genetic strain of mice that can be infected with Ebola and display symptoms similar to those that humans experience.
