Abstract
Lassa virus (LASV) is endemic in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia (known as the Mano River region) and Nigeria and Lassa fever cases from these countries are being reported annually. Recent investigations have found evidence for an expanded endemicity zone between the two known Lassa endemic regions indicating that LASV is more widely distributed throughout the Tropical Wooded Savanna ecozone in West Africa.
摘要
拉沙病毒（LASV）在塞拉利昂、几内亚和利比里亚（称为马诺河地区）流行，这些国家每年都有拉沙热病例报告。最近的调查发现，在两个已知的拉沙热流行地区之间存在一个扩大的流行区域的证据，表明 LASV 在整个西非热带林地稀树草原生态区分布更广。
