Urgent pandemic messaging of WHO, World Bank, and G20 is inconsistent with their evidence base

Global Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 689-707, September 2024.
Abstract When international agencies make claims of an “existential threat” to humanity and advocate for urgent action from countries, it should be a safe assumption that they are consistent with their own data.

Expression and Purification of Z Protein from Junín Virus

BioMed Research International, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Arenaviridae comprises 23 recognized virus species with a bipartite ssRNA genome and an ambisense coding strategy. The virions are enveloped and include nonequimolar amounts of each genomic RNA species, designated L and S, coding for four ORFs (N, GPC, L, and Z).

Virions at the gates: receptors and the host-virus arms race. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2013
All viruses need to bind to specific receptor molecules on the surface of target cells to initiate infection. Virus-receptor binding is highly specific, and this specificity determines both the species and the cell type that can be infected by a given ...

Animal Models of Pathogenic New World Arenaviruses

Microorganisms
Since the emergence of Junín virus in 1953, pathogenic New World arenaviruses have remained a public health concern. These viruses, which also include Machupo virus, Guanarito virus, Sabiá virus, and Chapare virus, cause acute viral hemorrhagic fever and

Morphological Comparison of Machupo with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus: Basis for a New Taxonomic Group [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1969
Striking morphologic similarities between Machupo, Tacaribe, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses were found by thin-section electron microscopy. It is proposed that these viruses be brought together into a single taxonomic group.
