Lassa fever awareness and practices in a nigerian rural community

摘要

Background: Lassa fever is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in Nigeria. The knowledge, attitude and practice by the people is largely undetermined. This information is an important requirement for the design of a strategic plan for the control of the disease. This necessitated the study in Ebhodiza, Uhiele-Ekpoma, a community of about 500 persons.
