Multiple Mammarenaviruses Circulating in Angolan Rodents
Viruses, 2021 Rodents are a speciose group of mammals with strong zoonotic potential. Some parts of Africa are still underexplored for the occurrence of rodent-borne pathogens, despite this high potential.

Prolyl tRNA Synthetase Is Required for Mammarenavirus Multiplication. [PDF]
VirusesSeveral mammarenaviruses (MaAv), chiefly Lassa virus (LASV) in Western Africa and Junin virus (JUNV) in the Argentinean Pampas, cause severe disease in humans and pose important public health problems in their endemic regions. In addition, the globally distributed MaAv lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is an underrecognized human pathogen of ...

The Protein Kinase Receptor Modulates the Innate Immune Response against Tacaribe Virus
Viruses, 2021 The New World (NW) mammarenavirus group includes several zoonotic highly pathogenic viruses, such as Junin (JUNV) or Machupo (MACV). Contrary to the Old World mammarenavirus group, these viruses are not able to completely suppress the innate immune ...

Local Maintenance and Genomic Diversity of Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus in Natural Populations of House Mice in the Czech Republic Over a 24-Year Period. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a neglected rodent‐borne zoonotic virus primarily infecting house mice. The virus can be highly pathogenic, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in congenital infections. LCMV is distributed worldwide but shows local clustering, probably due to the highly structured populations of its ...

Structure-function relationship of the mammarenavirus envelope glycoprotein [PDF]
Virologica Sinica, 2016 Mammarenaviruses, including lethal pathogens such as Lassa virus and Junín virus, can cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Entry is a key step for virus infection, which starts with binding of the envelope glycoprotein (GP) to receptors on target cells and subsequent fusion of the virus with target cell membranes.

Understanding Sabiá virus infections (Brazilian mammarenavirus)
Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022 Only two naturally occurring human Sabiá virus (SABV) infections have been reported, and those occurred over 20 years ago.We diagnosed two new cases of SABV infection using metagenomics in patients thought to have severe yellow fever and described new features of histopathological findings.We characterized clinical manifestations, histopathology and ...
