Special Issue “Arenaviruses 2020” [PDF]
Rodent-borne arenaviruses have been traditionally predominantly associated with certain muroid species from Mastomys/Praomys genera (African arenaviruses) or with species that belong to murid subfamily Cricetidae (New World arenaviruses) [...]

Characterization of non-standard viral genomes during arenavirus infections identifies prominent S RNA intergenic region deletions [PDF]
Arenaviruses, a family of negative-sense RNA viruses spread by rodents, are a leading cause of severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Due to a paucity of antivirals and vaccines for arenaviruses, there is a need to identify new mechanisms for interfering ...

The ability of a New World (NW) clade B arenavirus to enter cells using human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) strictly correlates with its ability to cause hemorrhagic fever.

Validation of Inactivation Methods for Arenaviruses
Several of the human-pathogenic arenaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever and have to be handled under biosafety level 4 conditions, including Lassa virus. Rapid and safe inactivation of specimens containing these viruses is fundamental to enable downstream ...

Development of a new quantitative RT-PCR to detect lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus [PDF]
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent-borne virus, with a worldwide distribution. The common mouse Mus musculus acts as reservoir and vector in the biological cycle of the virus.

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

The underlying mechanisms of arenaviral entry through matriglycan [PDF]
Matriglycan, a recently characterized linear polysaccharide, is composed of alternating xylose and glucuronic acid subunits bound to the ubiquitously expressed protein α-dystroglycan (α-DG).

Arenaviruses include multiple human pathogens ranging from the low-risk lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) to highly virulent hemorrhagic fever (HF) causing viruses such as Lassa (LASV), Junin (JUNV), Machupo (MACV), Lujo (LUJV), Sabia (SABV ...

La schizophrénie touche aussi les enfants et les adolescents : une des modalités de leur prise en charge est assurée par le CTJA [Centre thérapeutique de jour pour adolescents] [PDF]
1% des schizophrénies se déclenchent avant l'âge de 10 ans. 20%, une sur cinq, commencent avant l'âge de 18 ans. Et dans 40% des cas de schizophrénie avérée, les premiers signes étaient apparus avant 18 ans.

Hemorrhagic Fever-Causing Arenaviruses: Lethal Pathogens and Potent Immune Suppressors
Hemorrhagic fevers (HF) resulting from pathogenic arenaviral infections have traditionally been neglected as tropical diseases primarily affecting African and South American regions.
