Abstract
The invention relates to a method for infecting equines with an equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) in order to reproduce a natural infection challenge model. More specifically, the invention provides a multiple low dose equine EIA challenge model comprising administering at least 1 median horse infective dose to an equine using an intravenous route of administration. It is preferable that the EIAV be administered on a repeated basis. The multiple low dose EIA challenge model described herein can be used for testing efficacy of vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests.
