Molecular Characterization of Rift Valley Fever Virus From the 2025 Outbreak in Northern Senegal Reveals Lineage H Persistence and Key Polymerase Mutations

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT 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.

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

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 689-700, December 2025.
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.

How the Dominant Reading Direction Changes Parafoveal Processing: A Combined EEG/Eye‐Tracking Study

Psychophysiology, Volume 62, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Reading directions vary across writing systems. Through long‐term experience, readers adjust their visual systems to the dominant reading direction in their writing systems. However, little is known about the neural correlates underlying these adjustments because different writing systems do not just differ in reading direction, but also in ...

Ability of a dynamical climate sensitive disease model to reproduce historical Rift Valley Fever outbreaks over Africa

Scientific Reports
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a zoonosis transmitted by Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, and is considered a priority pathogen by the WHO. RVF epidemics mostly occur in Africa and can decimate livestock herds, causing significant economic losses and posing ...

Mitochondrial mechanism of right ventricular failure (RVF)

The FASEB Journal, 2012
Sustained pressure overload induces pathological cardiac dysfunction, linked to mitochondrial dysfunction (mitophagy) during RVF. We tested whether mitophagy division inhibitor (Mdivi‐I) mitigates oxidative stress and leads to reverse pre‐established advanced hypertrophy, fibrosis, and RV dysfunction. To verify this, C57 (less), FVB (intermediate), and

Canadian physicians help fight RVF in Kenya [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2007
Canadians can stake a claim in helping contain a major outbreak of a virulent new strain of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) that recently killed 150 Kenyans and 40 Somalis. The virus is a mosquito-born pathogen that primarily affects livestock but humans can get infected through mosquito bites or ...

Predicting right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implant: A novel approach

ESC Heart Failure
Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Modern, data‐driven approaches for defining and predicting RVF have been under‐utilized.
