Background Rift Valley Fever (RVF), is a viral zoonotic disease transmitted by Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. In Kenya, its occurrence is associated with increased rains. In Baringo County, RVF was first reported in 2006±2007 resulting in 85 human cases and 5 human deaths, besides livestock losses a...

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease of great public health and economic importance transmitted by mosquitoes. The main method of preventing the disease is vaccination of susceptible livestock before outbreaks occur. Studies on RVF vaccines have focused on the production processes, safet...

Participatory disease surveillance (PDS) has been promoted in developing countries to complement conventional surveillance, particularly for rinderpest eradication and Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) control. We conducted an evaluation participatory epidemiology (PE) and PDS capacity bui...
