Molecular Characterization of Rift Valley Fever Virus From the 2025 Outbreak in Northern Senegal Reveals Lineage H Persistence and Key Polymerase Mutations. [PDF]
J Med VirolABSTRACT Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito‐borne phlebovirus that causes severe febrile and hemorrhagic illness in humans. In September 2025, an outbreak in northern Senegal led to 119 confirmed infections and 15 deaths as of October 7, 2025. We performed rapid genomic sequencing to characterize the virus responsible for this epidemic.
