ABSTRACT:An animal model of neuronal loss induced by a murine retrovirus is described. The neurological disease is manifested by a lower limb paralysis and is characterized as a spongiform myeloencephalopathy. The primary determinant of neurovirulence has been mapped within the viral env sequences and a secondary determinant is present within the LTR region. A model of pathogenesis, suggesting that the disease is receptor-mediated, is proposed.

Lower Motor Neuron Disease

A young cat had signs of tetraparesis that progressed to tetraplegia within a few weeks. Clinically, there was lower motor neuron disease with areflexia and muscle atrophy in all limbs. Degeneration of the motor neurons in the spinal cord was seen on histological examination. Ultrastructurally, the degeneration of nerve cells was characterized by abnormal proliferation of neurofilaments. These findings were compared to other motor neuron diseases and neurofibrillary accumulations in man and animals.
