Genetic Variation in Junin Virus

The Arenaviridae

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

  • 122 Accesses

Abstract

Junin virus (JV) is a member of Arenaviridae able to cause a severe disease in humans known as Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF). The first isolation of this agent was performed in 1958 by Parodi et al. from a human case. Epidemics of AHF have occurred each year in the central area of the country, with incidence peaks coincident with harvest time of maize crops (Maiztegui, 1975).
