A study done in collaboration with @researchaidnetworks' Dr. Jeremy Rossman has recently been published.

The study shows a high rate #Lassa fever in the forested region of Guinea and suggests a link between land management practices, landscape fragmentation & disease emergence.

#Ebola and #Marburg are the #VHF people a#get excited about but #Lassa is causing a huge outbreak this year in #Nigeria with record number of cases (676) and deaths (109) reported.

For some reason is not getting much attention.
