The optimal age of mouse sensitive to rotavirus infection thus far has not been unified. We elucidated clinical symptoms, immune responses and pathological changes of mice in different ages after challenged by EDIM. Diarrhea illness, mobility, bodyweight were recorded, viral shedding and immune responses were detected. Small intestine tissue was evaluated for virus distribution and pathological changes. Two-week-old mice were more sensitive to EDIM infection and initiated more effective immune response, compared to others.
