Core Tip Machupo virus, the etiological agent of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, remains a neglected yet highly lethal arenavirus with significant biosafety and outbreak potential. This review integrates current knowledge on viral biology, transmission ecology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, and emerging countermeasures including monoclonal antibodies, antivirals, and next-generation vaccines. Strengthening one health surveillance and global research collaboration is essential to mitigate future spillover risks and improve preparedness against new world arenaviruses.
