Functional interferon system is required for clearance of lassa virus.
Lassa virus (LASV) is the causative agent of Lassa hemorrhagic fever (LF) in humans, a deadly disease endemic to West Africa that results in 5,000 to 10,000 deaths annually. Here we present results demonstrating that functional type I and type II interferon (IFN) signaling is required for efficient control of LASV dissemination and clearance.
متن کاملReplicon system for Lassa virus.
Lassa virus is endemic to West Africa and causes hemorrhagic fever in humans. To facilitate the functional analysis of this virus, a replicon system was developed based on Lassa virus strain AV. Genomic and antigenomic minigenomes (MG) were constructed consisting of the intergenic region of S RNA and a reporter gene (Renilla luciferase) in antisense orientation, flanked by the 5' and 3' untrans...
متن کاملDetection of Lassa Virus, Mali
To determine whether Lassa virus was circulating in southern Mali, we tested samples from small mammals from 3 villages, including Soromba, where in 2009 a British citizen probably contracted a lethal Lassa virus infection. We report the isolation and genetic characterization of Lassa virus from an area previously unknown for Lassa fever.
متن کاملEtymologia: Lassa [lah sə] virus
In Response: Giufrè et al. (1) responded to our recent article about the possibility of a food reservoir, specifi cally in retail chicken meat, for Escherichia coli causing human extraintestinal infections (2). They are not convinced by the data of “strong support” for the hypothesis that retail chicken meat could be a reservoir for these E. coli organisms and indicate that the observed proport...
متن کاملCharacterization of Lassa virus cell entry and neutralization with Lassa virus pseudoparticles.
The cell entry and humoral immune response of the human pathogen Lassa virus (LV), a biosafety level 4 (BSL4) Old World arenavirus, are not well characterized. LV pseudoparticles (LVpp) are a surrogate model system that has been used to decipher factors and routes involved in LV cell entry under BSL2 conditions. Here, we describe LVpp, which are highly infectious, with titers approaching those ...
