Special Issue “Arenaviruses 2020”
Viruses, 2021 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) [...]

Host-Species Transferrin Receptor 1 Orthologs Are Cellular Receptors for Nonpathogenic New World Clade B Arenaviruses [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 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
Viruses, 2021 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 ...

Sympatric Occurrence of 3 Arenaviruses, Tanzania
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 To determine the specificity of Morogoro virus for its reservoir host, we studied its host range and genetic diversity in Tanzania. We found that 2 rodent species other than Mastomys natalensis mice carry arenaviruses. Analysis of 340 nt of the viral RNA

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

Differential Immune Responses to Hemorrhagic Fever-Causing Arenaviruses
Vaccines, 2019 The family Arenaviridae contains several pathogens of major clinical importance. The Old World (OW) arenavirus Lassa virus is endemic in West Africa and is estimated to cause up to 300,000 infections each year.

Envelope Glycoprotein of Arenaviruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2012 Arenaviruses include lethal human pathogens which pose serious public health threats. So far, no FDA approved vaccines are available against arenavirus infections, and therapeutic options are limited, making the identification of novel drug targets for the development of efficacious therapeutics an urgent need.

Characterization of non-standard viral genomes during arenavirus infections identifies prominent S RNA intergenic region deletions [PDF]
mBioArenaviruses, 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 ...
