Histology of brain, kidney and liver tissue from wobbly possum disease virus (WPDV)-infected possums. Whilst RNA levels in selected tissues (liver, spleen, brain and kidney) from WPD-infected possums have been previously reported (Dunowska et al., 2013) , we have expanded both the number of possums and the tissue types tested to provide a greater understanding of the tissues targeted by the virus in-vivo. Detection of moderate to high levels of viral RNA from the sera of all but one infected possum in this study also supports the use of blood or serum samples for detection of WPDV. ./cache/cord-260782-1lm8tzbc.txt ./txt/cord-260782-1lm8tzbc.txt
