Abstract

One of the arguments in favor of a viral pathogenesis for multiple sclerosis is the existence of several experimental and natural animal models of virus‐induced primary demyelination. This review deals comprehensively with such models. Well‐known examples of demyelinating viral infections in their natural host are JHM, Theiler, visna, and canine distemper encephalomyelitides. Recent reports of experimental murine infections with pathogens such as vesicular stomatitis, Chandipura, herpes simplex, Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis, and Semliki Forest viruses are also discussed. The thrust of the review is to include viral models suspected of producing primary demyelination on an immunopathological basis.

  • VEEV neurological sequelae share progressive characteristics of neurodegenerative disorders including cognitive, motor, or sensory deficits.

    “Although previous studies do not indicate VEEV is related to neurodegeneration, VEEV neurological sequelae share progressive characteristics of neurodegenerative disorders including cognitive, motor, or sensory deficits [4,14,15].”

    From VEEV TC-83 Triggers Dysregulation of the Tryptophan–Kynurenine Pathway in the Central Nervous System That Correlates with Cognitive Impairment in Tg2576 Mice (2024) · cites this paper as [14]

    The “Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus” section (page not available in our copy) says VEEV can cause encephalitis in animals and humans and reports spinal-cord demyelination in infected mice. It does not describe progressive VEEV neurological sequelae or cognitive, motor, or sensory deficits; the passage about symptoms progressing over years concerns visna virus, not VEEV.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
