During the epidemic of Rift Valley fever (RVF) that occurred in Egypt and other areas of North Africa in 1977, the virus was isolated from various species of domestic animal and rats (Rattus rattus frugivorus) as well as man. The highest number of RVF virus isolates were obtained from sheep; only one isolate was recovered from each of the other species tested, viz. cow, camel, goat, horse, and rat. RVF virus was reisolated from both camel and horse sera, apparently for the first time.
在1977年发生于埃及和北非其他地区的裂谷热(RVF)疫情期间,从各种家畜、大鼠(黑家鼠)以及人类身上分离出了该病毒。裂谷热病毒分离株数量最多的是从绵羊身上获得的;从其他受试物种(即牛、骆驼、山羊、马和大鼠)中每种仅分离出一株。显然首次从骆驼和马的血清中再次分离出了裂谷热病毒。
