The name of the virus comes from the town of Lassa in northern Nigeria where it was first identified in 1969.
According to AFP the virus is spread through contact with food or household items contaminated with rats’ urine or faeces or after coming into direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person. It can be prevented by enhanced hygiene and avoidance of all contact with rats.
