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.

Analyzing Machupo virus-receptor binding by molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]
In many biological applications, we would like to be able to computationally predict mutational effects on affinity in protein-protein interactions. However, many commonly used methods to predict these effects perform poorly in important test cases.

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.

Family-specific degenerate primer design: a tool to design consensus degenerated oligonucleotides [PDF]
Designing degenerate PCR primers for templates of unknown nucleotide sequence may be a very difficult task. In this paper, we present a new method to design degenerate primers, implemented in family-specific degenerate primer design (FAS-DPD) computer ...

Arenavirus NPs contain a highly conserved DEDDh ExoN motif, through which LASV NP degrades virus-derived, immunostimulatory dsRNA in biochemical assays to eliminate the danger signal and inhibit the innate immune response.

A Molecular Sensor To Characterize Arenavirus Envelope Glycoprotein Cleavage by Subtilisin Kexin Isozyme 1/Site 1 Protease. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Arenaviruses are emerging viruses including several causative agents of severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans. The advent of next-generation sequencing technology has greatly accelerated the discovery of novel arenavirus species.

Rational design of universal immunotherapy for TfR1-tropic arenaviruses
Certain arenaviruses that circulate in rodent populations can cause life-threatening hemorrhagic fevers when they infect humans. Due to their efficient transmission, arenaviruses pose a severe risk for outbreaks and might be exploited as biological ...
