Development of reverse genetic tools to study Chapare and Machupo viruses
22 Sept 2023
Abstract excerpt
Arenaviruses are highly pathogenic viruses that pose a serious public health threat. Chapare virus (CHAV) and Machupo virus (MACV), two New World arenaviruses, cause hemorrhagic fevers with case fatality rates of up to 45%. Research on therapeutic drug targets and vaccines for these viruses is limited because biosafety level 4 containment is required for handling them. In this study, we developed reverse genetics...
