[0001] The invention relates to the field of medicine, in particular to the application of lacidipine in the preparation of medicines for treating arenavirus infection. Background technique
[0002] Arenaviruses are a class of RNA viruses that host rodents and can infect humans in various ways and cause diseases with varying degrees of fatality in humans. Recently, they have become locally prevalent in Africa and South America. Arenaviruses are double-segment negative-strand RNA viruses with envelopes. Virus particles are spherical or diverse, with a diameter of 50-300nm. Under an electron microscope, it can be observed that the cross-section of arenaviruses contains many granular Ribosomes, hence the name arenaviruses.
[0003] Arenaviruses can be divided into two types according to genotype, serotype and occurrence area: the Old World group and the New World group. Old World viruses include Lassa fever virus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, mainly ...
