Potent neutralization of Rift Valley fever virus by human monoclonal antibodies through fusion inhibition

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV)–specific monoclonal antibodies from survivors of natural infection and vaccination were isolated to understand how RVFV is targeted for neutralization by the human immune system.

Laboratory demonstration of the vertical transmission of Rift Valley fever virus by Culex tarsalis mosquitoes

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-transmitted virus with proven ability to emerge into naïve geographic areas. Limited field evidence suggests that RVFV is transmitted vertically from parent mosquito to offspring, but until now this mechanism ...

Field studies of Culex mosquitoes in Tanzania and Kenya: A systematic review motivated by changing Rift Valley fever virus transmission patterns. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
There were 275 studies reporting Culex abundance, 17 of which explicitly stated the motivation for the study was RVFV. Despite most studies being motivated by other topics, there was good coverage of studies reporting mosquito sampling in areas associated with the risk of RVFV outbreaks. Studies were c.

Arm race between Rift Valley fever virus and host

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease caused by Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), an emerging arbovirus within the Phenuiviridae family of Bunyavirales that has potential to cause severe diseases in both humans and livestock.

Reproducing the Rift Valley fever virus mosquito-lamb-mosquito transmission cycle

Scientific Reports, 2021
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-borne bunyavirus that is pathogenic to ruminants and humans. The virus is endemic to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula where outbreaks are characterized by abortion storms and mortality of newborns ...

Serological evidence of single and mixed infections of Rift Valley fever virus, Brucella spp. and Coxiella burnetii in dromedary camels in Kenya

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Camels are increasingly becoming the livestock of choice for pastoralists reeling from effects of climate change in semi-arid and arid parts of Kenya. As the population of camels rises, better understanding of their role in the epidemiology of zoonotic ...

Structure of Rift Valley Fever Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase

Journal of Virology, 2021
The zoonosis RVF virus (RVFV) is one of the most serious arbovirus threats to both human and animal health. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a multifunctional enzyme catalyzing genome replication as well as viral transcription, so the RdRp is ...

A Spatial Analysis of Rift Valley Fever Virus Seropositivity in Domestic Ruminants in Tanzania [PDF]

, 2015
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute arthropod-borne viral zoonotic disease primarily occurring in Africa. Since RVF-like disease was reported in Tanzania in 1930, outbreaks of the disease have been reported mainly from the eastern ecosystem of the Great ...
