Lassa fever, a hemorrhagic fever caused by Lassa virus (LASV), is endemic in West Africa. It is difficult to distinguish febrile illnesses that are common in West Africa from Lassa fever based solely… Expand
Negative Selection by Spiral Inertial Microfluidics Improves Viral Recovery and Sequencing from Blood.
In blood samples from patients with viral infection, it is often important to separate viral particles from human cells, for example, to minimize background in performing viral whole genome… Expand
