Novel Tools for Lassa Virus Surveillance in Peri-domestic Rodents

2023-03-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Lassa fever (LF) is a rodent-borne disease endemic to West Africa. In the absence of licensed therapeutics or vaccines, rodent exclusion from living spaces remains the primary method of preventing LF. Zoonotic surveillance of Lassa virus (LASV), the etiologic agent of LF, can assess the burden of LASV in a region and guide public health measures against LF. <h4>Methods</h4> In this study, we...
