Interferon may be effective in Argentine or Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers (also available only as IND).

Some species are notable as the vectors of Argentinian hemorrhagic fever and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever.

The Junín vaccine has also shown cross-reactivity with Machupo virus and, as such, has been considered as a potential treatment for Bolivian hemorrhagic fever.

Viral infections: Arenaviruses causing Argentine hemorrhagic fever or Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever among others.

It is caused by the Junín virus (an arenavirus, closely related to the Machupo virus, causative agent of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever).

The current treatment for Argentine and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever is a serum administered to a patient after the disease has been diagnosed, and this treatment is quite effective.

By the late 1970s, in addition to the work on Coxiella burnetii and other rickettsiae, research priorities had expanded to include the development of vaccines and therapeutics against Argentine, Korean and Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers, Lassa fever and other exotic diseases that could pose potential BW threats.
