Lassa fever

Lassa fever

Lassa fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus, an arenavirus endemic to West Africa. It spreads primarily through contact with food or household items contaminated by rodents (Mastomys natalensis) or through person-to-person transmission in healthcare settings. With an estimated 100,000-300,000 infections annually and ~5,000 deaths, Lassa fever poses a serious public health threat.
