Abstract
Diffuse degenerative-proliferative myocarditis is described in adult BALB/c mice infected with Coxsackie A13 virus. A marked tendency was observed for sclerotic processes to develop 30–60 days after infection; this may lie at the basis of the reduced functional activity of the myocardium and may lead to the development of cardiomyopathy.
