The distribution of spongiotic lesions showed a predilection for the brainstem and cerebellum (Figs 1,2 ) without forming spongiosis in the SVZ (Figs 2,3) , although our previous report demonstrated that the viral antigens in the brain appear in the choroid plexus and SVZ, including ependymal cells, during the early phase of infection after the initial emergence in infiltrating cells of meninges at 12 h pi, without spreading into the brain parenchyma including the site of injection. ./cache/cord-324398-68je1l3o.txt ./txt/cord-324398-68je1l3o.txt
