Overview

Rift valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease caused by the RVF Virus (RVFV) that mainly affects livestock and is responsible for illness in humans. The disease process in humans ranges from a simple febrile illness to fatal hemorrhagic conditions. Other symptoms include eye involvement and encephalitis. RVF is also known to have caused miscarriage in women. Mosquitoes, livestock and humans form parts of the virus’ life cycle. With a complex transmission process and lack of specific vaccines or treatment makes the disease difficult to control. Since mosquito breeding is an important factor for the spread of disease, regions with heavy rainfall are at risk to have increased numbers of cases and mortality.
