Genomic changes of Lassa virus associated with mammalian host adaptation

Genomic changes of Lassa virus associated with mammalian host adaptation

Abstract Background Lassa virus (LASV) causes a severe haemorrhagic fever in humans, with estimates of 100,000 to 300,000 infections annually in endemic regions and accounting for around 5000 deaths. The natural reservoir is the Mastomys rat, but through zoonotic transmissions humans are accidental...
