| Popis: | Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease, which caused several epidemics in humans in many countries of Africa. Using an inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time reverse transcription PCR, and nested one-step reverse transcription PCR, we conducted a cross-sectional study in populations of sheep and goats from the Mongo County in 2014 to determine the circulation of the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) in small ruminants from this area. From a total of 201 small ruminants (95 sheep and 106 goats), the overall IgG seroprevalence against the RVFV was 6.47% (13/201). No RVFV RNA was detected in the animal plasmas. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, species, sex, and locality were not the significant risk factors. The findings of this study highlight the risk of RVF for domestic ruminants bred in this region and for the human rural population living in contact with these animals and they emphasize the need to develop adequate control measures to limit this threat. |
