Genetic Organization of Junin Virus, the Etiological Agent of Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever

  • Chapter
The Arenaviridae

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

Most of the data on the genome organization of Junin virus presented in this chapter come from our laboratory and include results that are at the stage of manuscript preparation. Molecular cloning and sequencing studies on this human pathogenic arenavirus were focused on the S RNA, which codes for the major structural proteins.
