Different but Not Unique: Deciphering the Immunity of the Jamaican Fruit Bat by Studying Its Viriome
Viruses, 2022 A specialized and fine-tuned immune response of bats upon infection with viruses is believed to provide the basis for a “friendly” coexistence with these pathogens, which are often lethal for humans and other mammals.

Transcriptome sequencing and annotation for the Jamaican fruit bat (Artibeus jamaicensis).
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Jamaican fruit bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) is one of the most common bats in the tropical Americas. It is thought to be a potential reservoir host of Tacaribe virus, an arenavirus closely related to the South American hemorrhagic fever viruses.

The antiviral activity of iota-, kappa-, and lambda-carrageenan against COVID-19: A critical review
Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, 2021 Objective: There is no specific antiviral treatment available for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Among the possible natural constituents is carrageenan, a polymer derived from marine algae that possesses a variety of antiviral properties.

Protection Against Junin Virus by Immunization with Live Tacaribe Virus
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1965 SummaryAdult guinea pigs immunized with the live Tacaribe virus are able to resist challenge with a large dose of Junin virus to which they are normally susceptible. Sera from the Tacaribe virus-immunized guinea pigs contain abundant homologous antibody demonstrable by both complement-fixation and plaque neutralization tests.

Effect of Antilymphocyte Serium on Tacaribe Virus Infection in Infant Mice [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1971 Tacaribe virus, a member of the arenovirus group, was demonstrated to have similarities in pathogenesis to the prototype virus of this group, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus. Treatment with antilymphocyte serum (ALS) doubled the survival time of mice neonatally infected with a lethal dose of Tacaribe virus.

Persistent Infection of Vero Cells with Tacaribe Virus
Journal of General Virology, 1981 Persistently infected cultures have been established from Vero cells surviving primary infection with Tacaribe virus (Vero-T). The growth rate and morphological characteristics of the persistently infected cells were indistinguishable from normal Vero cells.

Uncovering Viral Protein-Protein Interactions and their Role in Arenavirus Life Cycle
Viruses, 2012 The Arenaviridae family includes widely distributed pathogens that cause severe hemorrhagic fever in humans. Replication and packaging of their single-stranded RNA genome involve RNA recognition by viral proteins and a number of key protein-protein ...

Animal Models for the Study of Rodent‐Borne Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses: Arenaviruses and Hantaviruses
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Human pathogenic hantaviruses and arenaviruses are maintained in nature by persistent infection of rodent carrier populations. Several members of these virus groups can cause significant disease in humans that is generically termed viral hemorrhagic fever (HF) and is characterized as a febrile illness with an increased propensity to cause acute ...

A potent Lassa virus antiviral targets an arenavirus virulence determinant.
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Arenaviruses are a significant cause of hemorrhagic fever, an often-fatal disease for which there is no approved antiviral therapy. Lassa fever in particular generates high morbidity and mortality in West Africa, where the disease is endemic, and a ...

Analysis of the Cell Type-Dependence on the Arenavirus Z-Mediated Virus-Like Particle Production
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Several arenaviruses are highly pathogenic to humans, causing hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of anti-arenavirus drug candidates is urgently needed, although the molecular basis of the host- and organ-specific pathogenicity remains to be fully elucidated ...
