Rift Valley Fever (RVF) virus causes severe epidemics in livestock and humans resulting in considerable economic losses from disruption of livestock production and market chain and morbidity and mortality in humans. This study estimated the burden of RVF disease in humans using disability adjuste...

Most emerging diseases of humans originate in animals, and zoonotic emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) threaten human, animal, and environment health. We report on a scoping study to assess actors, linkages, priorities, and needs related to management of these diseases from the perspective of ke...

Background
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a viral zoonosis and a mosquito-borne disease caused by a phlebovirus in the family
Bunyaviridae. It affects livestock, humans and wildlife. Epidemic outbreaks of RVF in East Africa, which occur after
heavy rainfalls in cycles of 5-15 years, have caused next ...

Rift Valley fever is a viral zoonosis that primarily affects people, cattle, sheep, goats, camels, buffalos, dromedaries, antelopes and wildebeest. The two most recent RVF epidemics in Kenya occurred in 1997/1998 and in 2006/2007 with severe socio-economic consequences in multiple sectors of the ...

In controlling Rift Valley fever, public health sector optimises health benefits by considering cost-effective control options. We modelled cost-effectiveness of livestock RVF control from a public health perspective in Kenya. Analysis was limited to pastoral and agro-pastoral system high-risk ar...
