| Description | Arenaviruses in the genus Mammarenavirus, the family Arenaviridae of -ssRNA viruses have a natural reservoir in rodents and occasionally infect humans causing viral hemorrhagic fevers. Phylogenetically, arenaviruses can be divided into Old World and New World groups, reflecting the restricted geographical distribution of natural reservoir species. This disease category is created in corcondance with the Japanese Infectious Diseases Control Law. |
