The Junin Virus is a member of the Arenaviridae family and is primarily transmitted to humans through contact with infected rodents or their excreta. It is the causative agent of Argentine Hemorrhagic Fever, a serious viral disease that can lead to severe illness and death. The virus is endemic to certain regions of Argentina, where outbreaks can occur, particularly in rural areas. Symptoms of Junin virus infection typically include fever, fatigue, and bleeding, which can progress to more severe complications. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through laboratory tests. Preventive measures focus on rodent control and public health education to reduce the risk of transmission in affected areas.
