- Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a viral zoonotic disease primarily affecting sheep, goats, cattle, and camels in Mauritania and Senegal.
- The virus is transmitted to humans via mosquito bites or direct contact with infected animal fluids and does not spread person-to-person.
- It will be affecting the eyes, brain, or liver, with the haemorrhagic form having a fatality rate of nearly 50%.
- India has not reported any RVF cases, but the disease is monitored under the national One Health surveillance framework due to favourable climatic conditions and livestock populations.
