Tacaribe virus but not junin virus infection induces cytokine release from primary human monocytes and macrophages. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
The mechanisms underlying the development of disease during arenavirus infection are poorly understood. However, common to all hemorrhagic fever diseases is the involvement of macrophages as primary target cells, suggesting that the immune response in ...

Comprehensive panel of real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction assays for detection and absolute quantification of filoviruses, arenaviruses, and New World hantaviruses. [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010
Viral hemorrhagic fever is caused by a diverse group of single-stranded, negative-sense or positive-sense RNA viruses belonging to the families Filoviridae (Ebola and Marburg), Arenaviridae (Lassa, Junin, Machupo, Sabia, and Guanarito), and Bunyaviridae (hantavirus). Disease characteristics in these families mark each with the potential to be used as a

Discovery of a Baloxavir‐Inspired Endonuclease Inhibitor That Prevents Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Replication in Cell Culture and In Vivo

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.
Current herpesvirus treatments targeting the viral DNA polymerase are limited by toxicities and drug resistance. Novel compounds inhibiting the nuclease activity of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV‐1) terminase complex, required for viral genome packaging, have been identified.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

The Biological Characteristics and Mouse Model of Lassa Virus From the First Imported Case in China

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
This is the first case of Lassa fever being introduced to China. A strain of the Lineage IV LASV was successfully isolated, and genomic and mutation analysis were conducted. Infection models were constructed using BALB/c, C57BL/6, and AG129 mice, which were successfully established.

Evaluating the Potential Adverse Effects of Favipiravir on Biochemical, Histopathological, and Spermatological Parameters in Male Rats' Testicular Tissue

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 39, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Favipiravir is a selective RNA polymerase inhibitor and a broad‐spectrum antiviral drug. Favipiravir reduces cell proliferation by inhibiting RNA transcription, particularly in rapidly proliferating cells such as spermatogonia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanism of action of favipiravir (T‐705) on sperm quality ...

Serological Assays Based on Recombinant Viral Proteins for the Diagnosis of Arenavirus Hemorrhagic Fevers

open access: yesViruses, 2012
The family Arenaviridae, genus Arenavirus, consists of two phylogenetically independent groups: Old World (OW) and New World (NW) complexes. The Lassa and Lujo viruses in the OW complex and the Guanarito, Junin, Machupo, Sabia, and Chapare viruses in the

Therapeutic options for human papillomavirus‐positive tonsil and base of tongue cancer

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 297, Issue 6, Page 608-629, June 2025.
Abstract The incidences of human papillomavirus‐positive (HPV+) tonsillar and base tongue squamous cell carcinomas (TSCC and BOTSCC) have increased in recent decades. Notably, HPV+ TSCC and BOTSCC have a significantly better prognosis than their HPV‐negative counterparts when treated with current surgical options, radiotherapy, or intensified ...

Visualization of Double-Stranded RNA Colocalizing With Pattern Recognition Receptors in Arenavirus Infected Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
An important step in the initiation of the innate immune response to virus infection is the recognition of non-self, viral RNA, including double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), by cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).
