Genetic Evidence for a Tacaribe Serocomplex Virus, Mexico [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 We isolated arenavirus RNA from white-toothed woodrats (Neotoma leucodon) captured in a region of Mexico in which woodrats are food for humans. Analyses of nucleotide and amino acid sequence data indicated that the woodrats were infected with a novel ...

Isolation of Tacaribe virus, a Caribbean arenavirus, from host-seeking Amblyomma americanum ticks in Florida. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Arenaviridae are a family of single stranded RNA viruses of mammals and boid snakes. Twenty-nine distinct mammalian arenaviruses have been identified, many of which cause severe hemorrhagic disease in humans, particularly in parts of sub-Saharan Africa ...

Regulation of Stress-Activated Kinases in Response to Tacaribe Virus Infection and Its Implications for Viral Replication [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Arenaviruses include important zoonotic pathogens that cause hemorrhagic fever (e.g., Junín virus; JUNV) as well as other viruses that are closely related but apathogenic (e.g., Tacaribe virus; TCRV).

Highly Diverse Arenaviruses in Neotropical Bats, Brazil [PDF]
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.

BH3-only sensors Bad, Noxa and Puma are Key Regulators of Tacaribe virus-induced Apoptosis. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Pathogenicity often differs dramatically among even closely related arenavirus species. For instance, Junín virus (JUNV), the causative agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF), is closely related to Tacaribe virus (TCRV), which is normally avirulent ...

Properties and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Tacaribe Virus
Journal of General Virology, 1985 Monoclonal antibodies prepared against Tacaribe and Junin viruses have been used to define further the serological relationships between arenaviruses of the Tacaribe complex. A close relationship was found between these two viruses and the heterologous Amapari and Machupo viruses, with Pichinde virus and Parana virus being more distantly related. Among

Efficient budding of the tacaribe virus matrix protein z requires the nucleoprotein. [PDF]
J Virol, 2010 ABSTRACT The Z protein has been shown for several arenaviruses to serve as the viral matrix protein. As such, Z provides the principal force for the budding of virus particles and is capable of forming virus-like particles (VLPs) when expressed alone.
