LASV lineage distribution across West Africa in relation to rodent host species. Virus lineages appear in red. Rodent taxa are abbreviated as Mn Mastomys natalensis, Me Mastomys erythroleucus, Hp Hylomyscus pamfi; Musb Mus baoulei. Brackets toward the bottom describe the geographical ranges of Mastomys natalensis mitochondrial lineage A-I (across West Africa) and A-II (extending into Central Africa). Red boxes indicate examples of LASV hotspots mentioned in this review where fine-scaled genetic studies have already begun
