| cross-protection between tacaribe complex viruses. presence of neutralizing antibodies against junin virus (argentine hemorrhagic fever) in guinea pigs infected with tacaribe virus. | cross-protection between junin virus and five other tacaribe complex viruses and the serological response of guinea pigs inoculated with tacaribe virus are reported here. previous infection with tamiami or pichinde viruses significantly delayed guinea pig deaths. a 58% survival rate was found among animals immunized with three doses of amapari virus, while guinea pigs inoculated with one dose of machupo or tacaribe virus were fully protected against junin virus. neutralization tests performed in ... | 1975 | 178627 |
| experimental biology and pathogenesis of junin virus infection in animals and man. | a fatal disease resembling argentine haemorrhagic fever of man has been produced in guinea-pigs and mice by inoculation with junin virus. infected guinea-pigs show macroscopic and microscopic haemorrhagic lesions, marked bone marrow changes, decreased leukocytes and platelets in the peripheral blood, and impairment of immunological response. this response permits differentiation between pathogenic (xj) and attenuated (xj cl(3)) strains. guinea-pigs inoculated with the xj cl(3) strain develop an ... | 1975 | 182401 |
| junín virus infection of guinea pigs: electron microscopic studies of peripheral blood and bone marrow. | thin sections of peripheral white blood cells and samples of bone marrow from guinea pigs infected with junín virus were examined by electron microscopy. in peripheral blood cells, 40% of the granulocytes showed cytoplasmic lysis seven days after viral infection. after day 11 up to 80% of these cells showed morphological alterations. however, no intra- or extracellular viral particles were detected in these samples. microscopy of bone marrow preparations revealed that 10% of the cells were alter ... | 1977 | 191539 |
| a rapid method for detecting junin virus viremia in the guinea pig. | a method for detecting junin virus viremia in guinea pigs is described. the method consists of infecting bhk-21 cells with blood samples from infected guinea pigs; 48 h later, junin virus antigens are detected in the cells by indirect immunofluorescence. application of this technique to patients with argentine hemorrhagic fever may lead to the quickest method for the virologic diagnosis of this disease. | 1977 | 197047 |

| clinical and epidemiological patterns of argentine haemorrhagic fever. | the epidemiology of argentine haemorrhagic fever (ahf) is closely related to cricetine rodents acting as natural hosts of junin virus. the endemo-epidemic area, which has increased 5 times since the disease was first recognized 15-20 years ago, is located in a densely populated region of argentina. it has been shown that the virus of lcm is active in humans and rodents of the ahf endemic area; this demonstrates the simultaneous presence of two arenaviruses pathogenic for man in a given geographi ... | 1975 | 1085212 |
| directions for future research on the pathogenesis of arenaviral infections. | the pathogenesis of arenavirus infection is considered separately for the haemorrhagic fever (hf) syndrome and for lymphocytic choriomeningitis (lcm) virus infection of rodents. experimental models of hf have received only limited study, mainly because of the virulence of the causal agents. two useful models (junin virus in guinea-pigs and machupo virus in rhesus monkeys) are now available and an attempt is made to delineate crucial questions for future studies, including the physiology of shock ... | 1975 | 1085229 |

| experimental neuroinvasiveness of wild and laboratory junin virus strains. | the neuroinvasiveness of candid 1 and xjcl3 laboratory strains and cbalv4454 and cbafha5069 wild strains of junin virus was studied in albino mice, guinea pigs, and a south american wild rodent, calomys musculinus (cm), of different ages inoculated by a non-neural route. infectivity in brain, blood and organs, as well as lethality, were determined. the results with the 3 hosts indicate that junin virus neuroinvasiveness is virus-strain-dependent, host species- and age-dependent, with the candid ... | 1992 | 1329167 |
| protection of guinea pigs against experimental argentine hemorrhagic fever by purified human igg: importance of elimination of infected cells. | antibody-containing plasma from patients recovered from argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf) is of proven value in treatment of the acute disease, but the possibility of transmitting blood-borne organisms such as hiv and hepatitis virus detracts from this approach. purified human immune plasma fractions igg1,2,4, igg1,2,3,4 and f(ab')2 neutralized junin virus in vitro. igg1,2,3,4 and igg1,2,4 lysed (in the presence of complement) cells infected with junin virus, and protected infected guinea pigs f ... | 1990 | 1965845 |
| neurovirulence of wild and laboratory junin virus strains in animal hosts. | the neurovirulence of candid #1 and xjcl3 laboratory strains and cbalv4454 and cbafha5069 wild strains of junin virus was studied in albino mice, guinea pigs, and a south american wild rodent, calomys musculinus, of different ages inoculated by the intracerebral route. infectivity in brain and organs, lethality, and neuropathological lesions were determined. the laboratory and wild strains showed similar neurovirulence only in 2-day-old mice. the neurovirulence of laboratory strains decreased wi ... | 1990 | 2177781 |
| early protection to junín virus of guinea pig with an attenuated junín virus strain. | inoculation of guinea pigs with attenuated xjo junín virus (jv) strain confers protection against challenge with pathogenic xj-jv strain starting as early as 3 days post infection (p.i.). the protection increased continuously up to 100% by 30 days p.i. neither stimulation of non-specific cell mediated mechanisms by previous bcg sensitization nor circulating interferon (ifn) seemed essential for such protection. the early detection of the virus in guinea pig organs considered the site of primary ... | 1985 | 2413752 |
| interferon response in the guinea pig infected with junín virus. | the "in vivo" interferon (ifn) induction capacity of two junín virus strains--the attenuated xjcl3 and the intermediate virulent mc2--was studied in the guinea pig experimental model. three different doses of xjcl3 strain--2,000, 10,000, and 50,000 tcid50--and a single dose of 10,000 tcid50 of mc2 were assayed. animals were bled from day 0 to day 14 postinjection (pi) xjcl3 groups showed a constant serum ifn response. mc2 infection showed that 16% of the animals failed to develop interferonemia. ... | 1987 | 2445908 |
| actions of complement on junin virus. | fresh sera from normal rhesus monkeys, guinea pigs, and rabbits inactivated 90%-99% of the infectivity of vero cell-passaged, attenuated strains of junin virus (jv) within 60 minutes. selective depletion studies showed that inactivation occurred by the classical complement pathway. complement had little effect on virulent jv strains. adsorption of the fresh sera with jv-infected vero cells showed that inactivation was not mediated by low levels of antibodies in normal sera. the cells used for pr ... | 1989 | 2546249 |
| protective effect of a low-dose of cyclophosphamide in experimental infection of guinea pigs with junin virus. | administration of cyclophosphamide (cy) to guinea pigs infected with a lethal strain of junin virus (jv) delayed the time of death, with survival of a small number of animals. virological studies showed a temporary decrease of virus concentration in blood and viscera shortly after the cy injection. in the pathological study no differences were found in the organic lesions present in cy-treated and nontreated animals, with the exception of the pulmonary alterations. in cy-treated guinea pigs the ... | 1989 | 2557385 |
| formalin inactivated junin virus: immunogenicity and protection assays. | the aim of this study was to determine if junin virus inactivated with formalin (fa) was immunogenic and able to elicit a protective response in the guinea pig. the xj-clone 3 strain of junin virus grown in vero cells was exposed to fa at 0 degrees c. the following inactivated antigens were prepared: a1, 0.1% fa for 50 hr; a2, 0.1% fa for 50 hr followed by concentration with polyethylene glycol (peg); b1, 0.05% fa for 70 hr; b2, 0.05% fa for 70 hr plus peg concentration; c, 0.1% fa for 50 hr fol ... | 1989 | 2559158 |
| tacaribe virus: a new alternative for argentine hemorrhagic fever vaccine. | tacaribe virus is know to protect guinea pigs and primates against lethal challenge with junín virus. a long-term study on the effect of tacaribe virus infection in the guinea pig was carried out to determine the extent of cross-protection and whether antigen and/or viral persistence and tissue damage could be detected in immune animals. viral titers, antigen expression in organs, and histologic lesions were sequentially searched for up to 540 days postinfection (pi). neutralizing antibodies (ab ... | 1987 | 2828522 |
| circulating interferon in the guinea pig infected with the xj, prototype junin virus strain. | the interferon (ifn) induction capacity of the xj prototype strain of junín virus (jv) was investigated in the guinea pig model. circulating alpha ifn was detected in 50% of the animals from days 2 to 9 postinfection (pi) and in 100% at day 11 pi, when all animals were in the premortem stage. individual levels ranged from 20 to 1,280 guinea pig ifn units (gpifnu)/ml. a correlation between xj strain virulence and ifn titers was recorded. a possible role of ifn as a pathogenic factor in the outcom ... | 1988 | 2828536 |
| junin virus-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity suppression in adult mice. | junin virus (jv) infection of suckling mice leads to lethal meningoencephalitis consistent with a delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth)-like immune response. in contrast, there are no central nervous system (cns) alterations, and high antibody titers are induced in resistant adult mice. as a possible explanation, jv infection in adult mice may provoke dth depression. thus in this work we study the alterations induced by jv in the immune response of adult mice by using sheep red blood cells (srbc) ... | 1988 | 2839614 |
| viral strain dependent differences in experimental argentine hemorrhagic fever (junin virus) infection of guinea pigs. | guinea pigs infected with low-passage junin virus of human origin showed viral strain dependent differences in mortality, ld50, time to death, and in viral spread and distribution. different junin strains appeared to cause at least two broad patterns of argentine hemorrhagic fever in guinea pigs. a number of strains of junin virus caused a viscerotropic type of illness in which virus replicated predominantly in lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. with the most severe visceral forms of argentin ... | 1988 | 2846464 |
| susceptible adult murine model for junin virus. | the adult mouse model had been considered resistant to junin virus (jv) infection. however, we found that c3h/hej murine strain proved highly susceptible up to 5 months of age to intracerebral inoculation with the prototype xj jv strain, showing neurological signs and 80-90% mortality within 13 days. neutralizing antibodies (nt ab) were absent, but low immunofluorescent ab levels (1:5) were detected as from day +7. the virus could only be rescued by coculture of brain samples with vero cells. hi ... | 1988 | 2850346 |
| cytolysis of junin infected target cells by immune guinea pig spleen cells. | spleen cells from guinea pigs infected with an attenuated strain of junin virus (the causative agent of argentine hemorrhagic fever) specifically lysed virus-infected syngeneic target cells in vitro. this activity was detected as early as 6 days after infection, reached a maximum on days 10-13, and persisted at lower levels, at least through day 30. monoclonal antibody to guinea pig t cells had no effect on the activity. after b or t cell enrichment techniques, the cytolysis was found with the b ... | 1986 | 2854602 |
| effect of immunosuppression on experimental argentine hemorrhagic fever in guinea pigs. | immunosuppression with cyclosporin a or cyclophosphamide had no apparent effect on the disease course of guinea pigs infected with a virulent strain of junin virus. immunosuppression of guinea pigs infected with an attenuated strain of junin virus led to fulminating argentine hemorrhagic fever. all immunosuppressed infected animals died. virus distribution patterns in target organs, as determined by plaque assay and fluorescent antibody procedures, were similar to those from non-immunosuppressed ... | 1985 | 2981364 |
| infection of pregnant guinea pigs with attenuated junin virus strains. | the effect of the attenuated xjc13 and xj0 strains of junin virus (jv) was studied in guinea pigs infected before and during pregnancy. the 58% mortality rate in animals infected during gestation and the 16.7% mortality rate in chronically infected animals were attributed to a viral effect. an abortion rate of 33% occurred in animals infected before the 7th week of gestation. regardless of the time of infection, jv was isolated from central nervous system tissue, placentas, and fetuses of animal ... | 1985 | 2982762 |
| neurotropism of a high-passage xj strain of junín virus. | guinea pig infection with a highly passaged xj prototype strain of junín virus by the intramuscular route (im) was carried out in order to study viral tropism modification in this host. the neurotropism of this strain was demonstrated by viral isolation, meningitis, and by the presence of junín antigens as shown by immunofluorescence. these events, not previously observed with the same lower-passaged strain, revealed the appearance of neurotropism after multiple passages in guinea pigs. | 1985 | 2983010 |
| pathogenesis of attenuated junin virus in the guinea pig model. | the purpose of this work was to elucidate the pathogenesis of attenuated junin virus (jv) strains in the guinea pig model. three groups of guinea pigs were infected by the im route with 10(3) pfu of the xjc13 and xjo-attenuated strains or with the xj pathogenic strain of jv, respectively. viremia was studied at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 14 days postinfection (pi) (a) in serum samples of all animals and in washed cells from xjc13-infected guinea pigs by conventional techniques and (b) in whole blood sa ... | 1985 | 2983013 |
| congenital guinea pig infection with attenuated junin virus strains. | guinea pigs born from mothers infected before or during pregnancy with 10(3) pfu of the attenuated xjc13 or xj0 strains of junin virus (jv) by the intramuscular route showed 31.5% mortality that was not attributable to the mothers' clinical condition or to lack of care. there was a slight drop in mortality rate when the mothers were infected at the beginning or end of their gestation period. jv isolation from the 9 offspring killed from 1 to 125 days of age proved that virus transmitted transpla ... | 1985 | 2989214 |
| junin virus-induced chromosomal aberrations in the guinea pig. synergism between the attenuated strain xj-clone 3 and caffeine. | the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells of guinea pigs inoculated with the pathogenic xj strain of junin virus increased significantly at 6, 9, and 11 days postinoculation (p.i.). animals inoculated with the attenuated xj-clone 3 strain only showed significant increments of achromatic lesions (gaps) at 9 days p.i. guinea pigs inoculated with the xj-clone 3 strain and then treated with two doses of caffeine 24 and 12 h before killing at 9 days p.i. exhibited a significant in ... | 1985 | 3000979 |
| effect of ribavirin and tributylribavirin on argentine hemorrhagic fever (junin virus) in guinea pigs. | subcutaneous injections of ribavirin into guinea pigs infected intraperitoneally or intracerebrally with junin virus significantly increased the mean time to death but did not enhance survival of the animals. we found similar results with tributylribavirin. virus replication was delayed, but not prevented, in ribavirin-treated infected guinea pigs. the animals usually died with high virus titers in their brains and frequently were paralyzed. | 1986 | 3013087 |
| treatment of junin virus-infected guinea pigs with immune serum: development of late neurological disease. | guinea pigs infected with argentine hemorrhagic fever virus (junin) were treated with pooled, homologous convalescent sera. use of 15,000 or 5,000 therapeutic units of immune sera prevented all signs of illness when administered within 24 hr of infection. we could also prevent illness and death in infected guinea pigs as late as 6 days after infection if we used more antisera (30,000 therapeutic units/kg). in some treatment groups, surviving animals developed a late neurological syndrome with pr ... | 1986 | 3023540 |

| [effect of the host cells in the crossed neutralization reactions between junín and tacaribe viruses ]. | it has been previously reported that guinea pigs inoculated with tacaribe virus grown in suckling mouse brain, develop specific anti-junín neutralizing antibodies (na) after 45 days of infection and a typical secondary response after junín virus challenge. since in these experiments both viruses were grown in suckling mouse brain doubt was raised about the specificity of na, considering the possibility that they were raised against host-cell antigens. in order to test this interpretation the fol ... | 1984 | 6101038 |
| [development of the infection in guinea pigs infected with the attenuated variant xjo of junín virus]. | as previously shown, the xjo variant of junin virus (jv) is attenuated and elicits in guinea pigs a lasting humoral response and resistance to the challenge with xj pathogenic strain, during at least three months. in this paper the long term evolution of guinea pigs inoculated with xjo by im route was studied. ten animals were infected with 10(3) pfu of xjo at day 0 (group i) and an other 10, at days 0 and 77 (group ii). another 30 guinea pigs were inoculated with 10(2) pfu at day 0 (group iii) ... | 1983 | 6101069 |
| [experimental infection of guinea pigs with tacaribe virus: effect on the functioning of the immunocompetent system]. | tacaribe virus is the member most closely related to junín virus within the tacaribe complex. it has been demonstrated that both viruses are indistinguishable by complement-fixation, due to the high cross-reactivity. however, adult guinea pigs are highly sensitive to infection with the xj pathogenic strain of junín virus whereas tacaribe virus is nonpathogenic for this species. furthermore this last virus protects them against junín virus. the xj strain reduces the immune response of guinea pigs ... | 1981 | 6101101 |
| modification of junin virus neutropism in the guinea pig model. | virulent and attenuated junin virus (jv) strains have been employed to study the influence of virus passage history on the neurotropism for guinea pigs. five i.p. successive passages (p1-p5) of the pathogenic jv-xj strain and of the attenuated xjo variant were performed in guinea pig spleen. viral titrations of organ suspensions were made through p1-p5 passages. the xj strain produced a widespread infection in p1 guinea pigs with viral dissemination to all organs except brain, in p5 animals the ... | 1984 | 6147995 |
| protection of guinea pigs inoculated with tacaribe virus against lethal doses of junin virus. | guinea pigs were protected against lethal doses of junin virus by a previous inoculation with tacaribe virus. fourteen guinea pigs were infected with 10(6) 50% lethal doses (ld50) of tacaribe virus and superinfected 45 days later with 10(3) ld50 of junin virus. appropriate control groups for both infections were also studied. the replication of junin virus was impaired, as no virus was isolated from blood and organs of animals killed on days 9 and 11 after infection. high levels of neutralizing ... | 1980 | 6245155 |
| in vitro inactivation of complement by a serum factor present in junin-virus infected guinea-pigs. | a serum factor(s) of guinea-pigs infected with junin virus, the etiological agent of argentine haemorrhagic fever, is endowed with a potent anticomplementary activity. it is resistant to heat (56 degrees, 30 min) and elutes from a sephadex g-200 column between albumin and haemoglobin. it is ineffective in the presence of edta or egta and does not sediment at 82,000 g. it has no direct effect on c4 unless functional cl is present. however, it induces cl activation that consumes c4 haemolytic acti ... | 1980 | 6247264 |

| pathogenesis of xj and romero strains of junin virus in two strains of guinea pigs. | argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf), a systemic infectious disease caused by infection with junin virus, affects several organs, and patients can show hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, or neurologic symptoms. we compared the virulence of two junin virus strains in inbred and outbred guinea pigs with the aim of characterizing this animal model better for future vaccine/antiviral efficacy studies. our data indicate that this passage of the xj strain is attenuated in guinea pigs. in contrast, the r ... | 2008 | 18689636 |
| tc83 replicon vectored vaccine provides protection against junin virus in guinea pigs. | junin virus (junv) is the etiological agent of the potentially lethal, reemerging human disease, argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf). the mechanism of the disease development is not well understood and no antiviral therapy is available. candid 1, a live-attenuated vaccine, has been developed by the us army and is being used in the endemic area to prevent ahf. this vaccine is only approved for use in argentina. in this study we have used the alphavirus-based approach to engineer a replicon system b ... | 2010 | 20452431 |
| proteomic analysis of pichindé virus infection identifies differential expression of prothymosin-alpha. | the arenaviruses include a number of important pathogens including lassa virus and junin virus. presently, the only treatment is supportive care and the antiviral ribavirin. in the event of an epidemic, patient triage may be required to more effectively manage resources; the development of prognostic biomarker signatures, correlating with disease severity, would allow rational triage. using a pair of arenaviruses, which cause mild or severe disease, we analyzed extracts from infected cells using ... | 2010 | 20706531 |
| rescue from cloned cdnas and in vivo characterization of recombinant pathogenic romero and live-attenuated candid #1 strains of junin virus, the causative agent of argentine hemorrhagic fever disease. | the new world arenavirus junin virus (junv) is the causative agent of argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf), which is associated with high morbidity and significant mortality. several pathogenic strains of junv have been documented, and a highly attenuated vaccine strain (candid #1) was generated and used to vaccinate the human population at risk. the identification and functional characterization of viral genetic determinants associated with ahf and candid #1 attenuation would contribute to the elu ... | 2010 | 21123388 |
| Effective oral favipiravir (T-705) therapy initiated after the onset of clinical disease in a model of arenavirus hemorrhagic Fever. | Lassa and Junín viruses are the most prominent members of the Arenaviridae family of viruses that cause viral hemorrhagic fever syndromes Lassa fever and Argentine hemorrhagic fever, respectively. At present, ribavirin is the only antiviral drug indicated for use in treatment of these diseases, but because of its limited efficacy in advanced cases of disease and its toxicity, safer and more effective antivirals are needed. | 2011 | 22022624 |
| [study of bone marrow in experimental argentine hemorrhagic fever. role of the megakaryocyte.] | in previous morphological studies on bone marrow of guinea pigs infected with junin virus, the coexistence of viral particles, antigens and cytopathic effects were observed in megakaryocytes. in addition, bone marrow is one of the organs where highest virus titers were obtained. however, although other myeloid cells presented intense cytopathic effect, viral antigens were observed only in reticular cells and virus particles were seen sporadically associated with immature cells. this study was de ... | 1980 | 22167697 |
| effect of ribavirin on junin virus infection in guinea pigs. | junin virus (junv) is the aetiological agent of argentine haemorrhagic fever. the pathogenesis of the infection is not well understood, no licensed vaccines exist and no specific antiviral therapy is available. previous studies have demonstrated the ability of ribavirin to delay and reduce junv disease and virus burden in guinea pigs without preventing death. based on available data, we performed three different studies to determine the efficacy of ribavirin against junv in the guinea pig model ... | 2012 | 22212688 |
| [phenotypic markers of attenuation in junin virus strains recently isolated from individuals vaccinated with junin candid#1 strain]. | argentine hemorrhagic fever is a severe acute disease caused by junin virus. for prevention of this disease an effective vaccine called candid#1 has been developed, composed of a live attenuated junin virus strain. during a clinical trial conducted at instituto nacional de enfermedades virales humanas (inevh) in 2005, junin virus was isolated from two vaccinated volunteers by co-culture of peripheral mononuclear blood cells. the aim of this study was to compare the strains isolated from these hu ... | 2013 | 23924527 |
| favipiravir (t-705) inhibits junín virus infection and reduces mortality in a guinea pig model of argentine hemorrhagic fever. | junín virus (junv), the etiologic agent of argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf), is classified by the niaid and cdc as a category a priority pathogen. presently, antiviral therapy for ahf is limited to immune plasma, which is readily available only in the endemic regions of argentina. t-705 (favipiravir) is a broadly active small molecule rna-dependent rna polymerase inhibitor presently in clinical evaluation for the treatment of influenza. we have previously reported on the in vitro activity of fa ... | 2013 | 24386500 |
