Ebola Virus IgG Seroprevalence in Southern Mali

Sidy Bane et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Mali had 2 reported introductions of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2013-2016 West Africa epidemic. Previously, no evidence for EBOV circulation was reported in Mali. We performed an EBOV serosurvey study in southern Mali. We found low seroprevalence in the population, indicating local exposure to EBOV or closely related ebola viruses.

Keywords: Ebola virus; Mali; ebolaviruses; filoviruses; serology; viruses; zoonoses.
