| Rift Valley f. |
an acute febrile infection of sheep and cattle, zoonotic in humans, caused by a bunyavirus and transmitted mainly by mosquitoes of the genera Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles; it is also spread by contact with infected tissues and secretions, particularly blood or amniotic fluid from aborting animals. In humans, it may be in a mild form, with nonspecific influenzalike symptoms, or in a severe form associated with encephalitis, retinitis, or hemorrhagic fever. In animals, it is characterized by fever, listlessness, hepatitis, melena, bloodstained nasal discharge, and abortion in pregnant animals. First observed in the Rift Valley of Kenya, it is now seen throughout southern and eastern Africa as far north as Egypt.
