The Current State of Vaccine Development for Specific Prophylactics of Arenaviral Hemorrhagic Fevers

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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

open access: yesПроблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2017
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Lassa Virus, but Not Highly Pathogenic New World Arenaviruses, Restricts Immunostimulatory Double-Stranded RNA Accumulation during Infection

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2020
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.

Animal Models of Lassa Fever

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Lassa virus (LASV), the causative agent of Lassa fever, is estimated to be responsible for up to 300,000 new infections and 5000 deaths each year across Western Africa.

A Molecular Sensor To Characterize Arenavirus Envelope Glycoprotein Cleavage by Subtilisin Kexin Isozyme 1/Site 1 Protease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

Novel Arenavirus, Zambia

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To investigate arenavirus in Zambia, we characterized virus from the kidneys of 5 arenavirus RNA–positive rodents (Mastomys natalensis) among 263 captured.

Rational design of universal immunotherapy for TfR1-tropic arenaviruses

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
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 ...
