Institute: Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki, Nigeria
Biography
I work in an Institution where some health workers die from Lassa fever. They become infected in the course of managing the patients with the disease, because of the vague symptoms of this virus.
I wish to seek collaborators that want to use the sera of patients who survived Lassa fever to look for possible ways to develop rapid diagnostic testing kits or vaccines, in order to aid diagnosis and primary prevention respectively.
