Spatiotemporally restricted arenavirus replication induces immune surveillance and type I interferon-dependent tumour regression [PDF]
Immune-mediated effector molecules can limit cancer growth, but lack of sustained immune activation in the tumour microenvironment restricts antitumour immunity.

Endangered wild salmon infected by newly discovered viruses
The collapse of iconic, keystone populations of sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) and Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon in the Northeast Pacific is of great concern. It is thought that infectious disease may contribute to declines, but little is known

Arenavirus Concentration by Molecular Filtration [PDF]
Liter volumes of a human arenavirus pathogen (Machupo) and a nonpathogen (Tacaribe) were concentrated 30 to 100 times in less than 90 min without significant loss of particle infectivity.

DDX3 suppresses type I interferons and favors viral replication during Arenavirus infection.
Several arenaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever (HF) diseases that are associated with high morbidity and mortality in humans. Accordingly, HF arenaviruses have been listed as top-priority emerging diseases for which countermeasures are urgently needed ...

The late endosome-resident lipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate is a cofactor for Lassa virus fusion.
Arenavirus entry into host cells occurs through a low pH-dependent fusion with late endosomes that is mediated by the viral glycoprotein complex (GPC). The mechanisms of GPC-mediated membrane fusion and of virus targeting to late endosomes are not well ...

Hemorrhagic fevers caused by viruses were identified in the late 1950s in South America. These viruses have existed in their hosts, the New World rodents, for millions of years. Their emergence as infectious agents in humans coincided with changes in the environment and farming practices that caused explosions in their host rodent populations ...

Arenavirus Phylogeny: A New Insight
Arenaviridae is a worldwide distributed family, of enveloped, single stranded, RNA viruses. The arenaviruses were divided in two major groups (Old World and New World), based on serological properties and genetic data, as well as the geographic distribution. In this study the phylogenetic relationship among the members of the Arenaviridae was examined,

Human platelets and their capacity of binding viruses: Meaning and challenges? [PDF]
Blood platelets are first aimed at ensuring primary hemostasis. Beyond this role, they have been acknowledged as having functions in the maintenance of the vascular arborescence and, more recently, as being also innate immune cells, devoted notably to ...

Prevalence of inclusion body disease and associated comorbidity in captive collections of boid and pythonid snakes in Belgium [PDF]
Inclusion body disease (IBD) is caused by reptarenaviruses and constitutes one of the most notorious viral diseases in snakes. Although central nervous system disease and various other clinical signs have been attributed to IBD in boid and pythonid ...

Mopeia Virus–related Arenavirus in Natal Multimammate Mice, Morogoro, Tanzania
A serosurvey involving 2,520 small mammals from Tanzania identified a hot spot of arenavirus circulation in Morogoro. Molecular screening detected a new arenavirus in Natal multimammate mice (Mastomys natalensis), Morogoro virus, related to Mopeia virus.
