Article Synopsis
- * Researchers trapped 942 rodents across Ondo and Ebonyi states, finding a high overall LASV prevalence of 53.6%, with Ondo state showing significantly higher LASV rates and Lassa fever cases compared to Ebonyi State.
- * The study revealed high positivity rates of LASV in various rodent genera, particularly Mastomys in Ondo, and identified key tissues (kidneys, spleen, testes) for LASV detection, suggesting a complex network of transmission that heightens spillover
Objective(s): To determine the availability and affordability of asthma and COPD medicines across Nigeria.
