Abstract
We detected Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) IgM and IgG
in human serum samples collected during 2018–2019
in northern KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. Our
results show recent RVFV circulation and likely RVFV
endemicity in this tropical coastal plain region of South
Africa in the absence of apparent clinical disease.
