Identification of Factors Contributing to Pathogenic Variability Among Lassa Virus Strains Using the Guinea Pig Model and Reverse Genetics
12 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Lassa virus (LASV) is the causative agent of Lassa fever (LF), a severe hemorrhagic disease with potential for lethal outcomes. Classified as a risk group 4 pathogen, it represents a significant public health threat in endemic regions. Our laboratory previously developed a novel lethal guinea pig model of Lassa fever using the clinical isolate LASV strain LF2384. However, the specific pathogenic factors...
