Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic viral disease that affects domestic and wild ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and buffaloes. Rift valley fever virus (RVFV), the causative agent of RVF, can also infect humans. RVFV is an arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) that is primarily spread through the bites of infected mosquitoes or exposure to infected blood. RVFV was first isolated and characterized in the Rift Valley of Kenya in 1931 and is endemic throughout sub-Saharan Africa, including Comoros and Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia and Yemen), and Mayotte.
裂谷热（RVF）是一种动物源性病毒疾病，会影响牛、羊、山羊、骆驼和水牛等家畜和野生动物。裂谷热病毒（RVFV）是裂谷热的病原体，也可以感染人类。RVFV 是一种虫媒病毒（arbovirus），主要通过受感染蚊子的叮咬或接触受感染的血液传播。RVFV 于 1931 年在肯尼亚裂谷首次分离和鉴定，在整个撒哈拉以南非洲流行，包括科摩罗和马达加斯加、阿拉伯半岛（沙特阿拉伯和也门）和马约特岛。
