is a disease especially of Africa that is caused by an arenavirus (species Lassa virus of the genus Arenavirus) and is characterized by a high fever, headaches, mouth ulcers, muscle aches, small hemorrhages under the skin, heart and kidney failure, and a high mortality rate
Lassa fever is an acute viral illness that occurs in west Africa. And it was first noticed when some pastors went for a Field missionary in a particular town located in enugu.
The incubation period of Lassa fever ranges from 6–21 days. The onset of the disease, when it is symptomatic, is usually gradual, starting with fever, general weakness, and malaise. After a few days headache, stomach ache may develop in some cases
Primary transmission of the Lassa virus from its host to humans can be prevented by avoiding contact with Mastomys rodents, especially in the geographic regions where outbreaks occur. Putting food away in rodent-proof containers and keeping the home clean help to discourage rodents from entering homes.
One of the way out of this deadly virus is abstainance and also making sure our environment is clean and free from all forms of bacteria or rodents
