Cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (CD150) is an entry receptor for measles virus.

Cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (CD150) is an entry receptor for measles virus.

Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) replicate measles virus (MV) after intranasal infection in the respiratory tract and lymphoid tissue.
