Murine norovirus (MNV) is a species of norovirus affecting mice. It was first identified in 2003.[1] MNV is commonly used in research to model Human norovirus[2] because the latter is difficult to grow in the laboratory. Standardized cell cultures are used in MNV propagation and the virus naturally infects mice, which allows studies in animal systems.[3]
