The study used 6–7-week-old female BALB/c mice procured from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA) to validate the model in vivo. We split the mice into eight experimental groups, with five mice per group (N = 5), to analyze weight change and survival. Additionally, for systemic infection analysis of the recombinant RG452 viruses, we formed eight more groups of three mice each (N = 3).
