Temporal analysis of Lassa virus infection and transmission in experimentally infected Mastomys natalensis

Temporal analysis of Lassa virus infection and transmission in experimentally infected Mastomys natalensis

Little is known about the temporal patterns of infection and transmission of Lassa virus (LASV) within its natural reservoir ( ). Here, we characterize infection dynamics and transmissibility of a LASV isolate (Soromba-R) in adult lab-reared originating from Mali. The lab-reared M. proved to be high...

Zusammenfassung:Little is known about the temporal patterns of infection and transmission of Lassa virus (LASV) within its natural reservoir ( ). Here, we characterize infection dynamics and transmissibility of a LASV isolate (Soromba-R) in adult lab-reared originating from Mali. The lab-reared M. proved to be highly susceptible to LASV isolates from geographically distinct regions of West Africa via multiple routes of exposure, with 50% infectious doses of
