Is it that the virus has been in incubation all these years or what? What exacerbated their proliferation? Our scientist should be able to tell us the environmental aspect of this epidemic to forestall future occurrence once we are able to curtail the present menace.

[quote post author Kangol99: =42140996]

According to him, the centres are Lassa fever Treatment Centre, Irrua, Edo; University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, Borno; Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano. Others are Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), University College Hospital Ibadan, and the National Centre for Disease Control, Asokoro, Abuja.

So they couldn't provide a single control centre in the East?

Apc sha!

We need a vaccine for lassa,it has been existing since the 60's[it was found in Bauchi state] and snatches lives every now and then,over 1000 people were infected in 2012,this time,the mortality rate of the infection has worsened.The reaction of the government has been poor though

Lassa fever can be treated....with ribavarin.

The catch is that the drug must be started early....and since the early symptoms of Lassa can look like common malaria or typhoid......plus many patients come from far away places.....delay can be fatal.

But the good thing is that people exposed to Lassa patients who have not fallen sick can start taking ribavarin....so that they won't fall ill.

Re-vaccine....in the good old days, they would take the serum from a Lassa survivor and inject it into a sick person.Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it did not.

The tactics the previous minister used were previously developed,long before he came into office...for polio eradication.

Plus....Ebola is not native to Nigeria.

Additionally....the first patient was isolated in a good hospital. Had he ended up in a ''General Hospital'' in say Ajegunle......

Ebola was spread also by patients absconding from care.

That's because it is not common in the SE.

Plus....it is very easy to set up an isolation unit should it reach the SE.

The North is the area most at risk.
