  • Animal herdsmen, abattoir workers, veterinarians, and other individuals who work with potentially-infected animals in RVF-endemic areas (areas where the virus is present) have an increased risk for infection. 
  • International travelers increase their chances of getting the disease when they visit RVF-endemic locations during periods when sporadic cases or epidemics are occurring.

  • There has been many outbreaks of RVF in parts of africa such as Congo , Cameron, Ethiopia , Uganda , Central African Republic , and Democratic Republic of the Congo. 
  • There has also been few cases of RVF reported in parts of Africa such as Niger , Botswana , South Africa , Zimbabwe , Kenya and Madagascar.

  • Most human cases of RVF are mild and self limiting so there is no specific cure for the disease , but the more serious and deadly cases of this disease usually have limited support.

  • A person's odds of getting infected can be reduced by doing things such as avoid all   contact with blood, body fluids, or tissues of infected animals and protecting themselves against mosquitoes and other bloodsucking insects. 
  • Also Use of mosquito repellents and bednets are two effective methods. And for people  working with animals in RVF-reported areas, wearing protective equipment to avoid any exposure to blood or tissues of animals that could possibly be infected is another important protective method.
