Lassa virus circumvents macrophage and dendritic cell antiviral defences in its natural reservoir, the Natal multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis) - npj Viruses npj Viruses - Lassa virus circumvents macrophage and dendritic cell antiviral defences in its natural reservoir, the Natal multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis)

Our latest study of #Lassavirus immunology in its natural reservoir, the natal multimammate mouse, describes some striking circumvention of first-line innate immune responses against Lassa in these rodents. Check it out!

With US funding for epidemic R&D at risk, Europe must invest in its own BSL-3/BSL-4 capacity.
We argue that relying on the US for high-level biosecurity is no longer sustainable.
