Arenavirus
Definition 1
A genus of negative-sense, single-stranded, RNA viruses of the family Arenaviridae that are spherical in shape and enveloped in a lipid membrane. The mechanism of replication is unknown, however new virions containing host ribosomes bud off of the surface of host cells. These zoonotic viruses are found mostly in rodent reservoirs, although the Tacaribe virus was isolated from a bat. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
Any viral organism that can be assigned to the genus Arenavirus. (NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
Definition 3
The only genus in the family ARENAVIRIDAE. It contains two groups LCM-LASSA COMPLEX VIRUSES and TACARIBE COMPLEX VIRUSES, which are distinguished by antigenic relationships and geographic distribution. (NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
