To determine whether Lassa virus was circulating in southern Mali, we tested samples from small mammals from 3 villages, including Soromba, where in 2009 a British citizen probably contracted a lethal Lassa virus infection. We report the isolation and genetic characterization of Lassa virus from an area previously unknown for Lassa fever.

为了确定拉萨病毒是否在马里南部流行，我们检测了来自 3 个村庄（包括 2009 年一名英国公民可能感染致死性拉萨病毒的 Soromba 村）小型哺乳动物的样本。我们报告了从一个以前未知的拉沙热地区分离和遗传特征鉴定出拉萨病毒。
