Tree Number(s): B04.820.480.500.070.100.550
Unique ID: D008217
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008217
Annotation: infection = LYMPHOCYTIC CHORIOMENINGITIS or LYMPHOCYTIC CHORIOMENINGITIS VIRUS (IM) + ARENAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS (IM)
Scope Note: The type species of ARENAVIRUS, part of the Old World Arenaviruses (ARENAVIRUSES, OLD WORLD), producing a silent infection in house and laboratory mice. In humans, infection with LCMV can be inapparent, or can present with an influenza-like illness, a benign aseptic meningitis, or a severe meningoencephalomyelitis. The virus can also infect monkeys, dogs, field mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters, the latter an epidemiologically important host.
