Detection of Lassa Virus-Reactive IgG Antibodies in Wild Rodents: Validation of a Capture Enzyme-Linked Immunological Assay.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of LASV-reactive IgG antibodies in rodents. The assay was used for laboratory-bred rodents, as well as for animals caught in the wild in various regions of West Africa. The ELISA reached an accuracy of 97.
