Combination of highly antigenic nucleoproteins to inaugurate a cross-reactive next generation vaccine candidate against Arenaviridae family

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
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

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

The Study of Viral RNA Diversity in Bird Samples Using De Novo Designed Multiplex Genus‐Specific Primer Panels

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
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

open access: yes, 2022
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.

Absence of Mammarenavirus RNA among their Natural Rodent and Potential other Reservoirs in Wildlife in Gabon

open access: yes, 2022
International audienceLCMV RNA has been detected both in its natural host reservoir, the house mouse Mus musculus, and other rodent species in Gabon. In addition, many pathogenic and nonpathogenic Mammarenavirus reservoirs are also present in the country;

Pichinde Virus Infection of Outbred Hartley Guinea Pigs as a Surrogate Animal Model for Human Lassa Fever: Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Analyses

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
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

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
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).

Current sampling and sequencing biases of Lassa mammarenavirus limit inference from phylogeography and molecular epidemiology in Lassa fever endemic regions

open access: yes, 2023
Lassa fever (LF) is a potentially lethal viral haemorrhagic infection of humans caused by Lassa mammarenavirus (LASV). It is an important endemic zoonotic disease in West Africa with growing evidence for increasing frequency and sizes of outbreaks ...

Virulent infection of outbred Hartley guinea pigs with recombinant Pichinde virus as a surrogate small animal model for human Lassa fever

open access: yesVirulence, 2020
Arenaviruses, such as Lassa virus (LASV), can cause severe and fatal hemorrhagic fevers (e.g., Lassa fever, LF) in humans with no vaccines or therapeutics.
