RVF virus is spread by several species of mosquitoes and causes intermittent outbreaks. Predominantly found in Sub-Saharan Africa, confirmed outbreaks in nearby island nations and the Arabian Peninsula highlight the increasing geographic footprint in endemic regions. Animal outbreaks are associated with high rates of abortions, neonatal die-offs, and influenza-like illness to occasionally lethal disease in people. RVF is primarily a febrile disease that mainly involves the liver.en© Published by Elsevier Inc.
