The pathogenesis of Rift Valley fever virus in the mouse model
Detailed studies describing the pathogenesis of Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus (RVFV) in the mouse model are lacking. A fully characterized small animal model of RVF is needed to evaluate potential vaccines and therapeutics. In this study, we characterized the pathogenesis of RVFV throughout the disease course in mice.

Bunyaviral diseases of animals (excluding Rift Valley fever and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever): Chapter 3.10.1 [PDF]
The order Bunyavirales has hundreds of members distributed over 12 families with a large number of genera. Most viruses of the different families are transmitted to vertebrates by arthropods (arboviruses).

Observations on rift valley fever virus and vaccines in Egypt [PDF]
Abstract Rift Valley Fever virus (RVFV, genus: Phlebovirus, family: Bunyaviridae), is an arbovirus which causes significant morbidity and mortality in animals and humans. RVFV was introduced for the first time in Egypt in 1977. In endemic areas, the insect vector control and vaccination is considering appropriate measures if applied properly ...

Inhibitors of the interferon response enhance virus replication in vitro. [PDF]
This work was supported by the University of St Andrews (CSA, CES) and the Wellcome Trust (grant 087751/A/08/Z) (RER).Virus replication efficiency is influenced by two conflicting factors, kinetics of the cellular interferon (IFN) response and induction ...
