An update on current understanding of the epidemiology and management of the re-emerging endemic Lassa fever outbreaks

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Lassa virus (LASV) is a zoonotic, acute, fatal, disease-causing virus, a causative agent of Lassa fever (LF) which is a type of viral hemorrhagic fever that is endemic in various parts of West Africa including Liberia, Nigeria, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Past research indicated that although the first primary incidence of LF was noticed in 1969, the zoonotic transfer of this viral agent to humans has been occurring for more than a centenary. LASV or Lassa virus is a single-stranded, encapsulated, bipartite RNA virus that predominantly corresponds to the family of Arenaviridae. This virus resembles a circular or round morphology with a usual approximate diameter of 110-130 nm. LASV requires an intricate nucleotide diversity among strains, which is intertwined with the subgroups of strains across geographical locations. As a result, six main LASV clades or lineages have been identified: clades I-III in Nigeria; clade IV covers up the countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia; and clade V in southern Mali; and a more contemporary clade VI, emerging from Togo. The capacity of these strains to change over time is a special feature.
