Highly Diverse Arenaviruses in Neotropical Bats, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We detected arenavirus RNA in 1.6% of 1,047 bats in Brazil that were sampled during 2007–2011. We identified Tacaribe virus in 2 Artibeus sp. bats and a new arenavirus species in Carollia perspicillata bats that we named Tietê mammarenavirus.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

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

Virulence, 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.

Disease X Testing: The results of an international external quality assessment exercise

Journal of Biosafety and Biosecurity, 2022
The United Nations Secretary-General Mechanism (UNSGM) for investigation of the alleged use of chemical and biological weapons is the only established international mechanism of this type under the UN. The UNGSM may launch an international investigation,

Persistent Reptarenavirus and Hartmanivirus Infection in Cultured Boid Cells [PDF]

, 2022
Mammarenaviruses establish a persistent infection in their rodent and bat hosts, and the evidence suggests that reptarenaviruses and hartmaniviruses found in captive snakes act similarly.

Ecologic Traits Analysis for Identifying Rodent Hosts for Arenavirus and Hepacivirus in the Americas

Biotropica, 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).

A Mutation‐Based Reverse Vaccinology Approach Considering Variability in Epitopes to Combat Multi‐Strains: A Study Using Glycoprotein of LASV

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Lassa virus (LASV) remains a persistent threat to public health, and to combat this, various therapeutics have been developed, but their effectiveness is limited due to the virus's strain variability. Therefore, mutation‐based reverse vaccinology approaches were implemented to formulate an epitope‐based vaccine against the LASV, considering ...

Regulation of Tacaribe mammarenavirus translation: Positive 5' and negative 3' elements and role of key cellular factors [PDF]

, 2017
Mammarenaviruses are enveloped viruses with a bisegmented negativestranded RNA genome that encodes the nucleocapsid protein (NP), the envelope glycoprotein precursor (GPC), the RNA polymerase (L), and a RING matrix protein (Z).
