Introduction | Rift Valley Fever Virus is a ssRNA virus from the Phlebovirus genus. The virus is endemic to Africa and is found in domestic ruminants; cows, goats, camels, and sheep. The disease can be transmitted to humans via infected milk or blood; the latter either through inhalation during animal slaughter or via mosquitos. Symptoms of infection typically consist of generic viral infection symptoms; fever, headache, and myalgia. In around 1% of patients, the disease can lead to hemorrhagic fever, encephalitis, and death. Livestock with the disease experience fever, reduced feeding, abortions, fever, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Treatment for the disease consists of supportive care. Vaccinations against RVF have been developed for use in animals and humans, however the human version is rarely available. |
