RESUMO

The M variant of encephalomyocarditis virus is very closely related serologically to five other strains of encephalomyocarditis virus. Despite the serological relationship, these five viruses differ markedly from the M variant in their tissue tropisms and only the M variant infects beta cells of the pancreas, producing diabetes.
