Clinical Sequencing Uncovers Origins and Evolution of Lassa Virus

Kristian G. Andersen, +83 more
- 13 Aug 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a genomic catalog of almost 200 Lassa virus (LASV) sequences from clinical and rodent reservoir samples was generated, showing that whereas the 2013-2015 West African epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) was fueled by human-to-human transmissions, LASV infections mainly result from reservoir-tohuman infections.
