Rift Valley fever

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2002
Rift Valley fever virus is an arthropod-borne Phlebovirus endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Outbreaks also have occurred in Egypt, Madagascar, and most recently in the Arabian peninsula. Large epizootics occur at irregular intervals in seasons of above-average rainfall with persistent flooding and the appearance of large numbers of floodwater-breeding ...

Investigating Rift-Rift-Rift triple junctions through analogue and numerical modelling

2022
<p>Continental break-up at Rift-Rift-Rift triple junctions commonly represents the “prequel” of oceanic basin formation. Currently, the only directly observable example of a Rift-Rift-Rift setting is the Afar triple junction where the African, Arabian and Somalian plates interact to form three rift branches ...

This chapter starts with a description of a serene morning on the Delaware River, where dawn brought a bright feeling and the steady flow of water that marked how far the author had journeyed. It notes the slight drop in temperature, which was a welcome relief as the author took stock of his dwindling supplies and prepared a simple breakfast of oatmeal

Rift Valley Fever

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic viral disease that affects domestic and wild ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and buffaloes. Rift valley fever virus (RVFV), the causative agent of RVF, can also infect humans. RVFV is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) that is primarily spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes or exposure ...

Propagating rifts: Crustal extension during continental rifting

Tectonics, 1984
Propagating rifts may not be incompatible with plate tectonic tenets which are considered at the appropriate scale. Propagation of a rift is a natural consequence of relative motion about a pole of rotation. It is not necessarily valid that (1) rifts propagate in one direction or (2) crustal stretching increases with progressive propagation of a rift.
