Title: Large-scale Lassa fever outbreaks in Nigeria: quantifying the association between disease reproduction number and local rainfall Document date: 2019_4_8
ID: 6l8r09cd_1
Snippet: Lassa fever (LF), caused by Lassa virus (LASV), is increasingly recognized as an important rodent-borne viral hemorrhagic fever presenting a severe public health threat to some of the communities in sub-Saharan West Africa [1] . Discovered in 1969 [2], LF is endemic to much of rural Nigeria and regions in the Mano River Union [3] . LASV transmits from human to human, as well as via the zoonotic cycle [1, 3, 4] . LF has a high case fatality rate r.....
Document: Lassa fever (LF), caused by Lassa virus (LASV), is increasingly recognized as an important rodent-borne viral hemorrhagic fever presenting a severe public health threat to some of the communities in sub-Saharan West Africa [1] . Discovered in 1969 [2], LF is endemic to much of rural Nigeria and regions in the Mano River Union [3] . LASV transmits from human to human, as well as via the zoonotic cycle [1, 3, 4] . LF has a high case fatality rate ranging from 1% in the community to over 60% in hospital settings [1, 4, 5] . The common reservoir of LASV is Mastomys natalensis, one of the most widespread rodent species in sub-Saharan Africa [1, 3] , which exhibit sensitive population dynamics to water level [6, 7] . Previous studies have recognized the ecological connection between the population levels of rodents and rainfall [8] [9] [10] .
