Background Info

Lactate Dehydrogenase Elevating Virus (LDV) is a single stranded RNA virus of the family Togaviridae. Transmission occurs through contaminated tumors, cells, or serum in experimental procedures, but can also occur by direct contact via blood and saliva. The most notable pathological change due to LDV infection is an increase in lactate dehydrogenase in serum. Other pathological changes include reduction in thymus weight, and progressive limb paralysis. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels in serum and low-level virus titers can persist for life. Mice are the only hosts of the disease.
