Arenaviral infections often result lethal hemorrhagic fevers, affecting primarily in African and South American regions. To date, there is no FDA-approved licensed vaccine against arenaviruses and treatments have been limited to supportive therapy. Hence,

Strategic Preparedness of Broad‐Spectrum Antivirals for Rapid Response Towards Next Pandemics
Nanoengineered broad‐spectrum antivirals (BSAs) represent a transformative approach to pandemic preparedness. Unlike virus‐specific drugs requiring separate development, BSAs act across multiple viral families through nanoengineering strategies that enhance solubility, bioavailability, and host‐targeted activity.

Advances in the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have significantly increased our ability to detect new viral pathogens and systematically determine the spectrum of viruses prevalent in various biological samples. In addition, this approach has also helped in establishing the associations of viromes with many diseases.

Eco-épidémiologie des mammarenavirus à l’interface rongeur-humain au Mozambique
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) have been a major global concern and more than 70% of new EIDs are zoonotic diseases that mostly originated from wildlife.

Lassa virus (LASV) is a mammarenavirus (arenavirus) that causes zoonotic infection in humans that can lead to fatal hemorrhagic Lassa fever (LF) disease. Currently, there are no FDA-approved vaccines or therapeutics against LASV.

Partitioning Social and Spatial Drivers of Infection Risk
Contact rates drive disease spread, yet are often oversimplified as uniform across individuals. Using data on Mastomys natalensis, we show that exposure to Morogoro virus is linked to spatial overlap with infected conspecifics, but not overall overlap, and that direct contact occurs with only a few individuals despite broad home range overlap ...

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas
Over half of emerging human pathogens originate from wildlife, with rodents serving as key zoonotic hosts. This study used ecological trait‐based models to identify rodent traits associated with arenavirus and hepacivirus infections and detect potential host species across the Americas, our models achieve high predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.92–0.96).
