Abstract
Lesions of primary demyelination are a characteristic neuro-pathological finding for several important neurological diseases of humans and animals. Such diseases can be caused by virus infections like measles, herpes or distemper. In multiple sclerosis, a disease with unknown etiology, a viral agent could be a trigger factor23. Coronavirus infections of rodents are studied as interesting experimental models to investigate mechanisms of virus induced demyelination19.
