Retrospective Screening for Zoonotic Viruses in Encephalitis Cases in Austria, 2019–2023, Reveals Infection with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus but Not with Rustrela Virus or Tahyna Virus [PDF]

Viruses
Zoonotic viruses may be neglected as etiologies of meningoencephalitis in humans. We performed retrospective testing of cerebrospinal fluid from encephalitis cases in biobank material for three zoonotic or potentially zoonotic viruses: rustrela virus ...

LYMPHOCYTIC CHORIOMENINGITIS VIRUS INFECTION

Problems of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases
Background: Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LHMV) infection is a neglected rodent-borne zoonotic infection but it is found all over the world because of the cosmopolitan distribution of its reservoirs.

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infections in Hungary between 2017–2023—Investigation of the First Congenital Infections [PDF]

Diagnostics
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent-borne arenavirus, primarily spread by common house mouse species. Acquired human infections range from asymptomatic to mild flu-like symptoms and self-resolving neurological diseases.

Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 is an antiviral regulator acting through the proto-oncogene MET

Nature Communications, 2022
The innate antiviral immune response is an important defense against infection. Here, the authors show that leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) promotes RIG-I-mediated innate immune responses by preventing its degradation, and inhibits ...

Slow viral propagation during initial phase of infection leads to viral persistence in mice

Communications Biology, 2021
Using different strains of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), Xu, Wang et al. show that a slow viral propagation limits type I interferon (IFN-I) production and viral persistence in mice.

Viral vector-mediated reprogramming of the fibroblastic tumor stroma sustains curative melanoma treatment

Nature Communications, 2021
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)-based viral vectors have been shown to induce potent antitumor immune responses. Here the authors show that a LCMV-based vaccine vector remodels the tumor-associated fibroblastic stroma, sustaining CD8+ T cell ...
