Maguari virus

Maguari virus (Mamuvirus) is a rodabunyavirus virus of the bunyavirus family. It belongs to the ecological group of arboviruses and the antigenic group of Bunyamver. However, its pathogenicity in humans has not been determined.

Maguari virus was first discovered in 1974 in Brazil, where it was associated with an epidemic of Maguari fever in the city of Maricata. Since then, many studies have been conducted that have shown that this virus can cause various diseases in humans and animals, including fever, hemorrhagic fever and others.

The main carrier of the Maguari virus is mosquitoes. The virus is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause both mild and severe forms of the disease. Symptoms of the disease may include fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness and others. In some cases, the virus can be fatal.

To combat the Maguari virus, it is necessary to carry out mosquito control measures, as well as educate the population on methods of protection against mosquito bites. It is also necessary to conduct research to determine the degree of danger of the virus to people and develop methods of treatment and prevention.



Maguari virus is a virus from the genus Bunyaw, a family of viruses belonging to the ecological group Arbovirus. The antigenic group of the virus is the Bunyamver group. There is no data on the danger of such a virus for people.

Maguare virus was first described in 2014. Scientists from South America discovered this virus in rodents and decided to study it. In 2020, information about it was published in the journal Current Microbiology. The virus is named after the Maguaray Indian people who live in this area.

Maguara virus data includes information about its origin, description and characteristics. However, there is no evidence that the virus poses a threat to humans, but the virus may be dangerous to wildlife.

According to the information obtained from the study, the discovery of this virus can be attributed to the emergence of new dangerous viruses in the world. It is a reminder of the need to be careful when studying new fauna and preventing a possible outbreak of infectious diseases.

Thus, the Maguarea virus is a unique species, dangerous for rodents, but potential for humans if viruses are exchanged with animals and their numbers increase. To prevent such events, it is recommended that a thorough study of all species of animals living
