The La Crosse virus M segment determines virus isolate cell-to-cell spread and virulence
La Crosse virus (LACV) is an orthobunyavirus spread by mosquitoes in North America and can cause severe neurological disease. Despite this burden, there is a lack of LACV antiviral treatments as our fundamental understanding of how LACV spreads and causes disease remains incomplete. To investigate LACV biology, we took advantage of two genetically similar LACV lineage I isolates (LACV1960 and…
