How is Lassa fever different from Ebola?

Both are African viral haemorrhagic fevers, but they differ significantly. Lassa is caused by an arenavirus, Ebola by a filovirus. Lassa is endemic and causes tens of thousands of cases annually; Ebola causes sporadic large outbreaks. Lassa's overall CFR (~1%) is much lower than Ebola's (25-90%), though hospitalised Lassa patients face higher mortality (~15-25%). Lassa does not spread person-to-person as easily as Ebola. Both require similar PPE for healthcare workers.
