Introduction
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) transmission gets elevated following periods of excessive and persistent rainfall. The
average inter-epizootic period in Kenya has been estimated to be 3.6 years (range 1–7 years). It is presumed that herd
immunity plays an important role in modifying t...

Towards the development of optimal vaccination strategies for Rift Valley fever in East Africa
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFv) is a mosquito-borne pathogen of livestock, wildlife and humans that causes
severe outbreaks in intervals of several years. One of the open questions is how the virus persists between
outbreaks. We developed a spatially-explicit, individual-based simulation model of ...
