Endemic Lassa fever in Liberia. III. Characterization of Lassa virus isolates

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1985
Sixty-three virus isolates were obtained by inoculation of Vero cells with sera from 50 hospital in-patients in Liberia with acute febrile illnesses. 57 of the isolates were presumptively identified as Lassa virus (LV) by direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) staining of inoculated Vero cells.

Studies of Lassa Virus Cell Entry

2017
Host cell entry is the first and most fundamental step of every virus infection and represents a major barrier for zoonotic transmission and viral emergence. Targeting viral entry appears further as a promising strategy for therapeutic intervention. Several cellular receptors have been identified for Lassa virus, including dystroglycan, TAM receptor ...

Lassa Virus Hepatitis: a Study of Fatal Lassa Fever in Humans

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986
In order to explore the significance of a previous observation that the most important pathologic changes in fatal Lassa fever are hepatic, we have studied postmortem liver biopsies from 19 patients with fatal Lassa fever. We observed a vigorous macrophage response to cellular damage, but we found no evidence of lymphocyte infiltration in infected ...

Isolation and Antigenic Characterization of Lassa Virus

Nature, 1970
LASSA fever as it was first noticed early in 1969 in three missionary nurses in Nigeria will be described by Frame et al.1. The disease later affected two laboratory workers at the Yale Arbovirus Research Unit (YARU) in New Haven. Two of the nurses and one of the laboratory workers died.

Mobile detection of Lassa virus

Science, 2019
Virology Lassa fever is a hemorrhagic viral disease endemic to West Africa. Usually, each year sees only a smattering of cases reported, but hospitalized patients risk a 15% chance of death. Responding to fears that a 10-fold surge in cases in Nigeria in 2018 signaled an incipient outbreak, Kafetzopoulou et al. performed metagenomic nanopore sequencing

Medecine tropicale : revue du Corps de sante colonial, 2012
Lassa virus, the etiologic agent of Lassa hemorrhagic fever, infects 100,000 to 300,000 people every year in West Africa with an overall mortality rate ranging from 1 to 2%. It was discovered in 1969 and remains a significant public health risk in endemic areas.
