Abstract Lead intoxication of mice increased the mortality due to experimental Langat virus infection. Lead enhanced viral replication, resulting in early detection and higher virus multiplication in the brain with associated widespread and more severe neurohistological changes. More severe brain damage by the virus in lead intoxicated mice contributed to increased mortality since Langat virus is known to kill by its encephalitogenic potential.
