National Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of Bluetongue Virus in Domestic Ruminants of Peru
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Bluetongue (BT) is a viral infection caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV) that affects domestic and wild ruminants worldwide. It is primarily transmitted by Culicoides spp. midges, and its infection is highly prevalent across temperate and tropical regions.

Junin virus‐induced astrocytosis is impaired by iNOS inhibition
Journal of Medical Virology, 2002 AbstractBecause Junin virus (JV) experimental encephalitis of mice and rats is characterized by mild histopathological changes that do not seem to justify per se lethality after intracerebral infection, such a murine model seems adequate to investigate the potential role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as a pathogenic factor. Concomitant with

Andean Lima Bean Ecology and Its Potential Contribution to Food Security
Legume Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2024.ABSTRACT The Andean lima bean (ALB) (Phaseolus lunatus L.), also known as “Pallar” in Peru, is a large, semi‐flat, kidney‐shaped rarely investigated legume. This ancestral legume lacks in‐depth scientific reports and is mainly cultivated in the coastal region of the Ica valley. Its consumption dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by archaeological

Prevalence and Incidence of Parkinson's Disease in Latin America: A Meta‐Analysis
Movement Disorders, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 105-118, January 2024.Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rapidly growing neurodegenerative disorder, but up‐to‐date epidemiological data are lacking in Latin America. We sought to estimate the prevalence and incidence of PD and parkinsonism in Latin America. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and

Involvement of the cytoskeleton in Junin virus multiplication.
Journal of General Virology, 1999 The role of the cellular cytoskeleton in Junin virus (JV) infection was explored in two ways. Firstly, the action of inhibitors that affect individual cytoskeletal systems (microtubules or microfilaments) selectively was analysed. It was found that perturbations of microtubule or microfilament networks caused by colchicine, nocodazole, nifedipine, EGTA

Antimicrobial peptides for novel antiviral strategies in the current post‐COVID‐19 pandemic
Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2024.This review describes the main physicochemical characteristics of antimicrobial peptides, with particular focus on peptides derived from amphibian skin. Summarizing the various antiviral activities of these peptides and the underlying mechanism, this review emphasizes the high potential of these small molecules for the development of new antiviral ...

Host Cell Factors as Antiviral Targets in Arenavirus Infection
Viruses, 2012 Among the members of the Arenaviridae family, Lassa virus and Junin virus generate periodic annual outbreaks of severe human hemorrhagic fever (HF) in endemic areas of West Africa and Argentina, respectively.

Analysis of the Cell Type-Dependence on the Arenavirus Z-Mediated Virus-Like Particle Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Several arenaviruses are highly pathogenic to humans, causing hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of anti-arenavirus drug candidates is urgently needed, although the molecular basis of the host- and organ-specific pathogenicity remains to be fully elucidated ...
