International external quality assessment study for molecular detection of Lassa virus.

International external quality assessment study for molecular detection of Lassa virus.

Lassa virus (LASV) is a causative agent of hemorrhagic fever in West Africa. In recent years, it has been imported several times to Europe and North America. The method of choice for early detection of LASV in blood is RT-PCR. Therefore, the European Network for Diagnostics of 'Imported' V...
