New York, Feb 9 (IANS) An international team of scientists has identified genetic factors that cause severe Lassa fever — an infection that is caused by the Lassa virus. Lassa fever is endemic in West Africa, and can be deadly in some people while only mild in others. The virus causes fever, sore throat, coughing, and vomiting, but can quickly progress to organ failure in some people. The study published in the journal Nature Microbiology found two key human genetic factors that could help explain why some people develop severe Lassa fever, and a set of LARGE1 variants linked to a reduced chance of getting Lassa fever. The findings could lay the foundation for better treatments for Lassa fev
