Animal Models of Pathogenic New World Arenaviruses

Microorganisms
Since the emergence of Junín virus in 1953, pathogenic New World arenaviruses have remained a public health concern. These viruses, which also include Machupo virus, Guanarito virus, Sabiá virus, and Chapare virus, cause acute viral hemorrhagic fever and

Vaccine-elicited receptor-binding site antibodies neutralize two New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
The five known New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses use the same entry receptor, but their viral glycoproteins are markedly different. Here, the authors isolate monoclonal antibodies from a Junin virus vaccinated person that cross-neutralize Machupo ...

Antibodies to the Glycoprotein GP2 Subunit Cross-React between Old and New World Arenaviruses

mSphere, 2018
Arenaviruses pose a major public health threat and cause numerous infections in humans each year. Although most viruses belonging to this family do not cause disease in humans, some arenaviruses, such as Lassa virus and Machupo virus, are the etiological

Structure and stabilization of the antigenic glycoprotein building blocks of the New World mammarenavirus spike complex [PDF]

mBio
The spillover of New World (NW) arenaviruses from rodent reservoirs into human populations poses a continued risk to human health. NW arenaviruses present a glycoprotein (GP) complex on the envelope surface of the virion, which orchestrates host cell ...

Genomic characterization of Sabiá virus in Brazil, 2019-2020: Implications for diagnostics, virus evolution, and receptor binding. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Between December 2019 and January 2020, two patients suspected of having severe yellow fever were admitted to a tertiary healthcare facility in São Paulo, Brazil, presenting with acute hemorrhagic syndrome and neurological alterations; both cases had ...

Lassa and Mopeia viruses produce different RIG-I-activating RNA in the absence of a functional viral exoribonuclease domain [PDF]

Journal of Virology
All viruses of the genus Mammarenavirus possess an exoribonuclease (ExoN) domain in their nucleoproteins (NP). Through this domain, the NP efficiently prevents the activation of the interferon (IFN) response, presumably by degrading double-stranded RNA ...

A hTfR1 Receptor-Specific VHH Antibody Neutralizes Pseudoviruses Expressing Glycoproteins from Junín and Machupo Viruses [PDF]

Viruses
The Junín virus (JUNV) is one of the New World arenaviruses that cause severe hemorrhagic fever. Human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1) has been identified as the main receptor for JUNV for virus entry into host cells.

Climate-driven changes in zoonotic risk of arenaviral hemorrhagic fevers in South America [PDF]

npj Viruses
Climate change is expected to significantly alter the ecological dynamics of zoonotic diseases, yet its long-term impact on rodent-borne hemorrhagic fevers in South America remains poorly understood.

Temporal changes in pathology and viral RNA distribution in guinea pigs following separate infection with two New World Arenaviruses.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
Numerous arenaviruses have been identified throughout the Americas and a subset of these viruses cause viral hemorrhagic fever in humans. This study compared the pathology and viral RNA distribution in Hartley guinea pigs challenged with two human ...
