Development of a RVFV ELISA that can distinguish infected from vaccinated animals [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2009
AbstractBackgroundRift Valley Fever Virus is a pathogen of humans and livestock that causes significant morbidity and mortality throughout Africa and the Middle East. A vaccine that would protect animals from disease would be very beneficial to the human population because prevention of the amplification cycle in livestock would greatly reduce the risk
