Morogoro virus, however, does not seem to infect humans.[2] Transmission of Morogoro virus between mice is assumed to occur via direct and indirect contact.[3] Infected animals pass a latent period of 7 days and subsequently shed the virus for about 30 days, after which they recover and develop lifelong antibodies.[4] Transmission may also be possible from infected mothers to offspring and through sexual contact, as this has been suggested for other arenaviruses.[5][6] References1. ^(Günther et al. 2009) 2. ^(Günther et al. 2009) 3. ^(Borremans et al. 2011) 4. ^(Borremans et al. 2015) 5. ^(Fichet-Calvet et al. 2014) 6. ^Webb et al. 1975 2 : Arenaviridae|Animal virology |
