This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the transmission dynamics of Lassa fever through a sophisticated mathematical model formulated with a fractal-fractional operator in the Atangana-Baleanu sense. The model's architecture is an SEIQR (susceptible-exposed-infected-quarantined-recovered) framework that incorporates crucial real-world epidemiological features, including a saturated incidence rate to account for behavioral changes at high infection levels and a relapse mechanism for recovered individuals. A rigorous qualitative analysis is conducted to establish the fundamental properties of the model, wherein we prove the existence, uniqueness, positivity, and boundedness of the solutions, ensuring the biological viability of the system. The stability of the model's equilibria is thoroughly examined. We derive the basic reproduction number (
