Detection of Latino virus (Arenaviridae: Mammarenavirus) naturally infecting Calomys callidus
Acta Tropica, 2018 Mammarenavirus species are associated with a specific rodent host species, although an increasing number of virus has been associated to more than one host, suggesting that co-evolution is less robust than initially thought. There are few eco-epidemiological studies of South America mammarenaviruses in non-endemic areas of Arenavirus Hemorrhagic Fever,

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 719-733, May 2023., 2023 Abstract MV‐LASV is an investigational measles Schwarz‐based vaccine for the prevention of Lassa fever. A repeated‐dose toxicity study in cynomolgus macaques was performed to assess the biodistribution and local and systemic toxicological effects. Monkeys received three immunizations of MV‐LASV or saline intramuscularly with a 2‐week interval.

Differential Immune Responses to Hemorrhagic Fever-Causing Arenaviruses
Vaccines, 2019 The family Arenaviridae contains several pathogens of major clinical importance. The Old World (OW) arenavirus Lassa virus is endemic in West Africa and is estimated to cause up to 300,000 infections each year.

Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an infection caused by a tick‐borne virus (genus: Nairovirus, family: Bunyaviridae). The most important vector for CCHF is the ixodid tick. Along with tick bite, direct contact with the virus‐affected animal is responsible for its spread. Pakistan witnessed its first case of CCHF in 1976 and has been a

A little less aggregation a little more replication: Viral manipulation of stress granules
WIREs RNA, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023 Viruses depend entirely on host machinery and therefore aim to conquer the host and defeat its defenses to co‐opt its resources for its own replication. Improved understanding of how viruses counteract host immune responses such as stress granule assembly, detailed here, will inform future antiviral therapeutic strategies.
