Arenaviruses are zoonotic RNA viruses that are distributed worldwide and are adapted to various rodent genera. Some are highly pathogenic and cause haemorrhagic fevers that are endemic in restricted regions of a few countries. Humans are thought to become infected mainly through inhalation of aerosolized rodent urine or dust particles to which ...

<p>The family Arenaviridae consists of over 30 members, some of which can infect humans and cause severe hemorrhagic fever. The three arenaviruses studied in this thesis, Machupo virus (MACV), Junín virus (JUNV), and Lassa virus (LASV), are causative agents of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Argentine hemorrhagic fever, and Lassa fever, respectively.

Although the isolation of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), the prototype member of the arenavirus group, was initially reported by Armstrong and Lillie in 1934, the virus remained unclassified for many years because of the lack of information on its biochemical properties and morphology.

There are few groups of viral zoonoses that have attracted such widespread publicity as the arenaviruses, particularly during the 1960’s and 1970’s when Lassa emerged as a major cause of haemorrhagic disease in West Africa. More than any other zoonoses, members of the family are used extensively for the study of virus-host relationships. Thus the study

Blood, 2013
In this issue of Blood , Loria and colleagues present new aspects on the role of platelets in protecting against both lethal hemorrhagic diathesis and virus replication in viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), using a murine model of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LMCV) infection.[1][1] The ...

Sequence Comparison Among Arenaviruses
1987Contemporary techniques for DNA cloning and rapid nucleotide sequencing have made significant contributions to the present understanding of gene structure and regulation (see, for example, Gluzman and Shenk 1983; Gluzman 1985). Cloning has allowed the amplification of genetic material that may be difficult or impossible to propagate by conventional ...

Mammalian Reservoirs of Arenaviruses
2002Arenaviruses are negative-stranded RNA viruses that have been isolated from several species of mammals in various parts of the world. With two exceptions, these viruses have all been isolated from rodents of the family Muridae — sensu Musser and Carleton (1993).

Reverse Genetics of Arenaviruses
2002Arenaviruses merit significant attention both as experimental models to study acute and persistent infections and as clinically important human pathogens, including hemorrhagic fever agents such as Lassa virus.

Abstract The arenaviruses, which take their name from the sand-sprinkled appearance under the electron microscope, are single-stranded RNA viruses which can cause severe haemorrhagic disease (e.g. Lassa fever, Argentinian, Bolivian and Venezuelan haemorrhagic fevers).
