Assessing the Environmental Drivers of Lassa Fever in West Africa: A Systematic Review

Viruses
The spread of Lassa virus in West Africa is reliant on the abundance and distribution of its rodent host reservoirs. While the impact of environmental change on viral spread has been studied for many zoonotic viruses, there is still a limited ...

Immune-Mediated Systemic Vasculitis as the Proposed Cause of Sudden-Onset Sensorineural Hearing Loss following Lassa Virus Exposure in Cynomolgus Macaques

mBio, 2018
Lassa virus (LASV) causes a severe, often fatal hemorrhagic disease in regions in Africa where the disease is endemic, and approximately 30% of patients develop sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss after recovering from acute disease.

Research Direction and Science Evaluation: The Role of Coherence and Alignment

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 437-474, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT The decisions of funding agencies greatly influence the direction of scientific research; however, our understanding of how applicants' research directions affect the selection process remains limited. In this study, we investigate how a project's coherence with a scientist's previous work and its alignment with current scientific trends ...

Lassa virus in novel hosts: insights into the epidemiology of lassa virus infections in southern Nigeria. [PDF]

Emerg Microbes Infect
Identification of the diverse animal hosts responsible for spill-over events from animals to humans is crucial for comprehending the transmission patterns of emerging infectious diseases, which pose significant public health risks. To better characterize potential animal hosts of Lassa virus (LASV), we assessed domestic and non-domestic animals from ...

Addressing Climate Driven Vector‐Borne Disease in West Africa

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) pose a significant public health threat in West Africa, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. This region is highly susceptible to the effects of climate change due to its geographical location, dependence on rain‐fed agriculture, and fragile ...

New Lineage of Lassa Virus, Togo, 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We describe a strain of Lassa virus representing a putative new lineage that was isolated from a cluster of human infections with an epidemiologic link to Togo. This finding extends the known range of Lassa virus to Togo.

Comparison of Proteomic Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid From Neurological Patients With and Without Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness in both bulbar and extremity muscles, leading to a diverse clinical phenotype with motor and non‐motor symptoms. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from sporadic ALS patients were analysed for proteomics content and revealed altered inflammatory and ...
