Scope note: Especie tipo de ARENAVIRUS, parte del Arenavirus del Viejo Mundo (ARENAVIRUS DEL VIEJO MUNDO), que produce una infección silente en ratones comunes y de laboratorio. En los seres humanos, la infección por LCMV puede pasar desapercibida, o puede presentar un cuadro similar a una gripe, una meningitis aséptica benigna, o una grave meningoencefalomielitis. Este virus también puede infectar a monos, perros, ratones de campo, cobayas y hámsteres, siendo este último un huésped epidemiológicamente importante.

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.
