Prevalence of inclusion body disease and associated comorbidity in captive collections of boid and pythonid snakes in Belgium [PDF]
Inclusion body disease (IBD) is caused by reptarenaviruses and constitutes one of the most notorious viral diseases in snakes. Although central nervous system disease and various other clinical signs have been attributed to IBD in boid and pythonid ...

Differential Disease Susceptibilities in Experimentally Reptarenavirus-Infected Boa Constrictors and Ball Pythons. [PDF]
Inclusion body disease (IBD) is an infectious disease originally described in captive snakes. It has traditionally been diagnosed by the presence of large eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions and is associated with neurological, gastrointestinal, and ...

DDX3 suppresses type I interferons and favors viral replication during Arenavirus infection.
Several arenaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever (HF) diseases that are associated with high morbidity and mortality in humans. Accordingly, HF arenaviruses have been listed as top-priority emerging diseases for which countermeasures are urgently needed ...

Targeting the apical domain of the transferrin receptor: Development of a new protein scaffold for cellular delivery. [PDF]
Abstract Human transferrin receptor 1 (TfR) is essential for cellular iron homeostasis by internalizing the iron carrier proteins transferrin and ferritin. It is also an entry point for various pathogens, such as South American hemorrhagic fever caused by arenaviruses and the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax, which utilize TfR to gain access to cells.

The Current State of Vaccine Development for Specific Prophylactics of Arenaviral Hemorrhagic Fevers
Presently, the Arenavirus genus (Arenaviridae family) includes 26 individual species of viruses. It is divided into two main groups – Old World arenaviruses and New World arenaviruses.

Polyfunctional CD4+ T cell responses to a set of pathogenic arenaviruses provide broad population coverage [PDF]
Background Several arenaviruses cause severe hemorrhagic fever and aseptic meningitis in humans for which no licensed vaccines are available. A major obstacle for vaccine development is pathogen heterogeneity within the Arenaviridae family.

MOLECULAR-BIOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ARENAVIRUS REPRODUCTION IN SENSITIVE CELLS
The Arenaviridae family consists of a large group of single strand ambisense RNA viruses that are separated phylogenetically, serologically and geographically into Old World and New World viruses.
