Article Synopsis
  • Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-transmitted RNA virus that causes Rift Valley fever, primarily affecting livestock in Africa and the Middle East.
  • This study analyzed 691 serum samples from cattle, goats, and sheep in Kenya, finding that 29.67% tested positive for RVFV, with the highest prevalence in sheep.
  • Despite detecting positive samples and obtaining whole genome sequences, the study found no evidence of genetic recombination or reassortment, suggesting that other factors might contribute to changes in the virus's virulence and emergence of new strains.
