Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.Current herpesvirus treatments targeting the viral DNA polymerase are limited by toxicities and drug resistance. Novel compounds inhibiting the nuclease activity of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV‐1) terminase complex, required for viral genome packaging, have been identified.

Reporter-Expressing, Replicating-Competent Recombinant Arenaviruses
Viruses, 2016 Several arenaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever (HF) disease in humans and pose an important public health problem in their endemic regions. To date, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed vaccines are available to combat human arenavirus infections,

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).

Emerging virus diseases: can we ever expect the unexpected?
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2012 Emerging virus diseases are a major threat to human and veterinary public health. With new examples occurring approximately one each year, the majority are viruses originating from an animal host.

Innate and adaptive immune control of genetically engineered live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes [PDF]
, 2017 Arenaviruses such as Lassa virus (LASV) cause significant morbidity and mortality in endemic areas. Using a glycoprotein (GP) exchange strategy, we have recently developed live-attenuated arenavirus vaccine prototypes (rLCMV/VSVG) based on lymphocytic ...

The Biological Characteristics and Mouse Model of Lassa Virus From the First Imported Case in China
MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.This is the first case of Lassa fever being introduced to China. A strain of the Lineage IV LASV was successfully isolated, and genomic and mutation analysis were conducted. Infection models were constructed using BALB/c, C57BL/6, and AG129 mice, which were successfully established.
