Minute virus of mice detection kits

The autonomous parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM) contains a linear, single-stranded DNA genome. Minute virus of mice (MVM) is one of the most frequent viral pathogens in laboratory mice. The virus can be shed from infected mice via feces and urine, but also via fomites and nasal secretions.Typically there are no clinical signs of infection, however, experimental infection can cause multiple organ damage during fetal development or shortly after birth. While MVM infection may result in pathology of infected mice, the infection is more likely to cause problems for the ongoing study the mice are being used for as the immune system will be activated, the activity of T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes will be altered and tumor formation may be suppressed.
