LASV (Lassa virus) and LCMV (Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis virus), which show the different mortality in spite of same symptoms and origin, are introduced into the human population by rodents which shed the virus in urine and droppings. Direct contact with these materials, touching virus-infected objects, eating contaminated food, or exposure to open cuts or sores develop infection. In this paper, we analyzed 4 different proteins of LASV and LCMV: glycoprotein, Z protein, nucleoprotein, and L protein. Also, we investigated the similarities between them based on the frequency of amino acids by decision tree. Furthermore, we look for one amino acid's frequency of relating rates to another amino acid to find the difference between two viruses by Apriori algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
