Lassa fever market is expected to reach USD 210 million by 2034

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.
