Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) or O'Higgins disease, also known in Argentina as mal de los rastrojos (stubble disease) is a hemorrhagic fever and zoonotic infectious disease occurring in Argentina. It is caused by the Junín virus[1] (an arenavirus, closely related to the Machupo virus, causative agent of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever). Its reservoir of infection is the drylands vesper mouse, a rodent found in Argentina and Paraguay.
