Lassa virus persistence with high viral titers following experimental infection in its natural reservoir host, Mastomys natalensis
Abstract Lassa virus (LASV) outbreaks in West Africa pose a significant public health threat. We investigated the infection phenotype and transmission (horizontal and vertical) of LASV strain Ba366 in its natural host, Mastomys natalensis. Here we analyze viral RNA levels in body fluids, virus titer...
