Arenavirus diversity and phylogeography of mastomys natalensis Rodents, Nigeria

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 22, No. 4, Year 2016

Mastomys natalensis rodents are natural hosts for Lassa virus (LASV). Detection of LASV in 2 mitochondrial phylogroups of the rodent near the Niger and Benue Rivers in Nigeria underlines the potential for LASV emergence in fresh phylogroups of this rodent. A Mobala-like sequence was also detected in eastern Nigeria.
