Rift Valley fever virus: Unanswered questions

Antiviral Research, 2016
This mosquito-borne pathogen of humans and animals respects no international or geographic boundaries. It is currently found in parts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula where periodic outbreaks of severe and fatal disease occur, and threatens to spread into other geographic regions.

Biochemical characterization of Rift Valley fever virus

Virology, 1980
Abstract : Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) polypeptides were shown to share similar biochemical properties with members of the family Bunyaviradae. Electrophoretic analysis of RVFV revealed one nonglycosylated and two glycosylated major proteins with molecular weights of 25,000, 56,000, and 65,000 respectively.

Reverse Genetics System for Rift Valley Fever Virus

2023
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an important mosquito-borne virus that can cause severe disease manifestations in humans including ocular damage, vision loss, late-onset encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fever. In ruminants, RVFV can cause high mortality rates in young animals and high rates of abortion in pregnant animals resulting in an enormous ...

Rift Valley Fever Virus Vaccine

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1963
Summary The procedure for the production of Rift Valley fever vaccine (RVF) has been described. Infectious vacuolating virus, SV 40, was present in 3 of 6 lots of inactivated RVF vaccine prepared from rhesus kidney cell cultures but was not detected in any of 5 sequential lots prepared in Cercopithecus cell cultures. Moreover, formalin-killed RVF virus

Destruction of Tumour Cells by Rift Valley Fever Virus

Nature, 1954
IN the course of work on the effects of infection with several viruses upon different kinds of tissue cells from several animal species in vitro, it was found unexpectedly that Rift Valley fever virus has a marked destructive action upon rat sarcoma cells grown in tissue culture. A number of papers have appeared on the effects of infection with viruses

Variations in Rift Valley Fever Virus

1984
By 1977, Rift Valley Fever (RVF) has covered most of the African continent, and reached the Mediterranean basin. The recent notification that Zinga virus (hitherto ungrouped arbovirus) is antigenically identical to RVF (RVFV) expands the RVF-covered Africa to include West Africa and Madagascar.

Rift Valley fever virus: An unrecognized emerging threat?

Human Vaccines, 2010
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an arthropod-borne pathogen that often results in severe morbidity and mortality in both humans and livestock. As its geographic range continues to spread, it presents a real threat to naïve populations around the world by accidental introduction (e.g., the result of increased world travel) or a bioterror event.

Detection and Diagnosis of Rift Valley Fever Virus

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a globally important mosquito-borne virus that can also be directly transmitted via aerosolization of body fluids from infected animals. RVFV outbreaks cause mass mortality of young livestock and abortions in animals. In most severe human cases, the disease can progress to hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis, leading to

An Introduction to Rift Valley Fever Virus

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a pathogen transmitted to humans and livestock via mosquito bites. This virus, which was discovered in Kenya in 1930, is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) to be associated with a high risk of causing large-scale epidemics.

Rift valley fever virus infection in man in Nigeria

Journal of Medical Virology, 1980
Recently, Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) disease has assumed public health significance as associated with human fatalities on a significant scale both in the North, Central and South of Africa. In West Africa, little information is available about RVFV disease.
