We detected Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) IgM and IgG in human serum samples collected during 2018-2019 in northern KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. Our results show recent RVFV circulation and likely RVFV endemicity in this tropical coastal plain region of South Africa in the absence of apparent clinical disease.
我们在 2018 年至 2019 年期间采集的南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省北部的人类血清样本中检测到裂谷热病毒(RVFV)IgM 和 IgG。我们的结果表明,在没有明显临床疾病的情况下,RVFV 近期在南非这个热带沿海平原地区流行,并可能存在地方性流行。
