More recently, between August 2015 and April 2016, there were 266 reported cases of LF infection (129 of which were confirmed by laboratory tests) and 138 (suspected, probable and confirmed) deaths across Nigeria with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 51.8%; four of 22 states being significantly affected by the disease were Bauchi, Edo, Oyo and Taraba [14]. This recent LF outbreak suggests increased mortality and spread compared to a 2012 outbreak in the country that caused more than 1,700 people to become infected, but 112 deaths, according to the Nigerian Center for Disease Control [15]. Generally, LF outbreaks occur most years in West Africa; the virus infects an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 each year and is responsible for 5,000 deaths in the region as a whole [16].
