CIDRAP: "France last week reported an imported Lassa fever case in a soldier who recently returned from abroad and was hospitalized in Ile-de-France, the ECDC also said in its weekly report. Investigators have identified the man's contacts, who are under monitoring.

The report didn't note where the man was exposed to the virus. Over the past decade, European countries have reported seven imported Lassa fever cases, all from various African countries.

Lassa fever typically spreads via contact with food or household items contaminated by rat droppings and urine, though human-to-human transmission can occur. The virus is endemic in a number of West African countries, and Nigeria is experiencing a large ongoing outbreak."
