Pathogenesis of Machupo virus infection in primates.
Experimental Machupo virus infection of rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys produced a severe illness consisting of an initial clinical phase and a later neurological phase. Cumulative mortality during the two phases was 80% and 95% respectively. Attempts to alter the pathogenesis with decomplementation or immunosuppression resulted in earlier deaths of the ...

SummaryMultiplication of Machupo virus, the etiological agent of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, was studied in a variety of cell cultures. One line of African green monkey kidney cells (Vero) supported the multiplication of the virus to high titer, but developed no cytopathic effect.

[Sedimentation analysis of the virion RNA of Machupo virus].
Pichinde and Machupo viruses labeled with 3H-uridine were concentrated and purified by different methods. The buoyant density of the viruses was for Pichinde 1.14-1.15 g/cm3 (urographimeter), 1.19 g/cm3 (sucrose), 1.25 g/cm3 (cesium chloride), for Machupo virus 1.25 g/cm3 (cesium chloride).

The Curious Case of Arenavirus Entry, and Its Inhibition
Arenaviruses comprise a diverse family of enveloped negative-strand RNA viruses that are endemic to specific rodent hosts worldwide. Several arenaviruses cause severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans, including Junín and Machupo viruses in South America and ...

A review of emerging health threats from zoonotic New World mammarenaviruses
Despite repeated spillover transmission and their potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality in human hosts, the New World mammarenaviruses remain largely understudied.

[Effect of actinomycin D on the reproduction of the Machupo virus].
The effect of inhibitors of mRNA synthesis (actinomycin D and alpha-amanitin) and DNA replication (mitomycin C and ethidium bromide) on Machupo virus reproduction was studied. Actinomycin D (1.0-4.0 micrograms/ml) and alpha-amanitin (10.0 micrograms/ml) added immediately after adsorption reduced the infectious virus titre by 2 lg or more. Actinomycin D
