LASV: Lassa virus prevalence; Past contacts denote articles with unspecified antibodies or IgG positive subjects. Recent contacts denote articles with IgM or IgM and IgG positive subjects. Current contacts denote studies with antigen, RNA, virus positives or subjects with an increase in antibody titer between acute and convalescent samples. Current, recent and past contacts are indicated by shades of red, blue and green respectively. Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 indicate the LASV case fatality rate in humans, the prevalence of LASV in humans, Mastomys natalensis, non-Mastomys natalensis rodents and other mammals respectively.
