Lassa Virus in Pygmy Mice, Benin, 2016–2017

Lassa Virus in Pygmy Mice, Benin, 2016–2017

Lassa virus has been identified in 3 pygmy mice, Mus baoulei, in central Benin. The glycoprotein and nucleoprotein sequences cluster with the Togo strain. These mice may be a new reservoir for Lassa virus in Ghana, Togo, and Benin.
