Five unidentified virus strains were recovered from the multimammate mouse ,Mastomys natalensis, during the course of studies on arbovirus infections in Mozambique. These agents were found to be morphologically and immunologically related to Lassa virus. Four of 19 sera from Mastomys captured in the study area had antibodies to both Lassa virus and one of the unidentified strains. Although not definitive, the differences noted in results of complement fixation and indirect immunofluorescent tests suggest that these viruses from south-east Africa are not identical to West African Lassa virus.
在莫桑比克进行虫媒病毒感染研究的过程中，从多乳鼠（Mastomys natalensis）体内分离出了5株未鉴定的病毒毒株。发现这些病原体在形态学和免疫学上与拉沙病毒相关。在研究区域捕获的19份多乳鼠血清中，有4份同时含有针对拉沙病毒和其中一种未鉴定毒株的抗体。虽然尚无定论，但补体结合试验和间接免疫荧光试验结果显示的差异表明，这些来自非洲东南部的病毒与西非拉沙病毒并不相同。
