Arenaviridae
Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | Arenaviridae - a family of arborviruses carried by arthropodsarborvirus, arbovirus - a large heterogeneous group of RNA viruses divisible into groups on the basis of the virions; they have been recovered from arthropods, bats, and rodents; most are borne by arthropods; they are linked by the epidemiologic concept of transmission between vertebrate hosts by arthropod vectors (mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, midges, etc.) that feed on blood; they can cause mild fevers, hepatitis, hemorrhagic fever, and encephalitisarenavirus - animal viruses belonging to the family ArenaviridaeJunin virus - the RNA virus that causes Argentine hemorrhagic fever; carried by rats and miceLassa virus - the RNA virus that causes Lassa feverlymphocytic choriomeningitis virus - the RNA virus that causes lymphocytic choriomeningitis; infects mice and monkeys and dogs and guinea pigs and human beingsMachupo virus - the RNA virus that causes Bolivian hemorrhagic fever; carried by rats and micefamily - (biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera; "sharks belong to the fish family" |
Arenaviridae
Arenaviridae[ə‚rēn·ə′vī·rə‚dē] (virology) A family of ribonucleic acid animal viruses consisting of a single genus, Arenavirus, having an enveloped, spherical pleomorphic form. Arenaviridae
A·re·na·vi·ri·dae (ă'rē-nă-vir'i-dē), A family of more than 15 RNA viruses, many of which are natural parasites of rodents, that includes lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, Lassa virus, and the Tacaribe virus complex. The virions are 50-300 nm (average 100 nm) in diameter, enveloped, ether-sensitive, and contain two single-stranded RNA molecules (molecular weight 3-5 × 106); they also contain electron-dense, RNA-containing granules (20-30 nm in diameter) that resemble ribosomes, with an electron-microscopic appearance of sandiness.
