Modelling seasonality of Lassa fever incidences and vector dynamics in Nigeria. by James Q McKendrick, Warren S D Tennant, Michael J Tildesley

“…Lassa fever (Lf) is a viral haemorrhagic disease endemic to West Africa and is caused by the Lassa mammarenavirus. The rodent Mastomys natalensis serves as the primary reservoir and its ecology and behaviour have been linked to the distinct spatial and temporal patterns in the incidence of Lf. …”

Rodent trapping studies as an overlooked information source for understanding endemic and novel zoonotic spillover. by David Simons, Lauren A Attfield, Kate E Jones, Deborah Watson-Jones, Richard Kock

“…For five regionally important zoonotic pathogens (Arenaviridae spp., Borrelia spp., Lassa mammarenavirus, Leptospira spp. and Toxoplasma gondii), we identify host-pathogen associations that have not been previously reported in host-association datasets. …”
