Lassa fever outbreaks, mathematical models, and disease parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2024-03-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Lassa fever, caused by Lassa virus (LASV), poses a significant public health threat in West Africa. Understanding the epidemiological parameters and transmission dynamics of LASV is crucial for informing evidence-based interventions and outbreak response strategies. <h4>Methods</h4> We conducted a systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023393345) to compile and analyse key epidemiological parameter...
