This project aims to enhance understanding of Lassa fever, a disease transmitted from rodents to humans. It focuses on the ecology of the rodent host and the virus's transmission dynamics to inform better control measures against this zoonotic disease.
Lassa fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Lassa virus.
The disease is endemic in West Africa.
Hemorrhagic courses of Lassa fever are associated with high mortality.
It is estimated that 100,000 to 500,000 infections occur each year because of transmission of Lassa virus from its rodent reservoir (Mastomys natalensis) to human.
Rodent control measures could reduce the risk of rodent-human transmission.
However, the dynamics of virus-rodent interaction is poorly understood.
