Description
Meng Hu, Emily Mantlo, and Cheng Huang review the Lassa virus threat in 2026. The virus drives a bleed fever that hits West Africa hard, with steep death odds in pregnant women above all. No shot or drug holds a full license for the disease yet.
Gaps span true case load, spread paths, body harm, and germ-host play, which slows drug and shot work. Fresh lines and wide germ drift strain tests, tracking, and broad drug plans. Spread by sex is raised as a new hint, and host fight-back plus test gains close the review.
