The application discloses a mouse-adapted
coxsackievirus A4 strain and a construction method of an infection model thereof, the
virus strain has a preservation number of CCTCC NO:V202432, and an ICR mouse hand-foot-mouth
disease infection model of 13 days old is established by using the
virus strain, and the mouse hand-foot-mouth
disease infection model can present similar
pathological changes to human diseases, especially hand-foot-mouth
disease. Compared with the previous mouse model of less than 7 days old, the mouse hand-foot-mouth disease infection model constructed by the application solves the defects of difficult
drug administration, low
drug administration volume and the like of the small-day-old mouse, so that the mouse model can be applied to long-time
drug efficacy observation and
vaccine evaluation, and the model has very important application value in researches on the
pathogenesis of HFMD, the effectiveness evaluation of vaccines, the screening and drug
efficacy evaluation of antiviral drugs and the like. The application solves the technical problems that the
coxsackievirus A4 strain is used to establish a model by using 1 to 7 day-old mice at present at home and abroad, and the day-old mice are small in age, difficult to administer drugs, and the infection model is not easy to prepare successfully.
