Cross-sectional seroprevalence study of Lassa fever in three southern Nigerian states

2025-12-18

Abstract excerpt

Lassa virus (LASV) transmission varies markedly across West Africa, yet its local drivers are poorly understood. We conducted a cross-sectional study in nine villages across three Nigerian states, testing 1,874 individuals for LASV IgG antibodies and analyzing questionnaire data for correlates of exposure. Overall seroprevalence was 3.3% but was highly heterogeneous, ranging from 1.6% to 5.2% between states. We fo...
