Epidemiologic and Genomic Characterization of an Outbreak of Rift Valley Fever Among Humans and Dairy Cattle in Northern Tanzania

We provide evidence that an apparently small RVFV outbreak among dairy cattle in northern Tanzania was associated with concurrent severe and fatal infections among humans. Our findings highlight the unidentified scale and diversity of interepizootic RVFV transmission, including near and within an urban area.

Abstract

We provide evidence that an apparently small RVFV outbreak among dairy cattle in northern Tanzania was associated with concurrent severe and fatal infections among humans. Our findings highlight the unidentified scale and diversity of interepizootic RVFV transmission, including near and within an urban area.
