    Extractions: First Out of Africa Rift Valley Fever is a member of the sand fly fever group (Phleborivus genus, Bunyaviridae family), but is the only fever of this group vectored by mosquitoes. It is transmitted from animals to humans, by bite or by exposure to infected animal tissues. Initial clinical signs of the disease in animals are not precisely described. It is often the case that the disease is suspected by a confluence of events - spontaneous abortions, human deaths - after animals die 24-36 hours from the first observance of their appetite loss and listlessness. The mortality rate in animals less than a week old is 90%. In humans, there are symptoms similar to those in Dengue fever – fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, weakness – plus a rash. Complications include hemorrhage, encephalitis and blindness. The mortality rate varies widely. Prior to the 2000 outbreak of Rift Valley fever in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, the disease was confined to the African continent, e.g., Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa. While some Western experts claim to have found the reservoir of the virus in wild rodents in the 1970s in Egypt, South African scientists contend that the reservoir is not yet known. Thus, research is still pursued. Rift Valley Fever - First Out of Africa

    Extractions: Valley Fever or San Joaquin Fever (Coccidiodomycosis) Valley fever is an airborne fungal infection. It starts in the lungs, and if not treated, it spreads to the bones and destroys them. Symptoms In many people, valley fever causes mild, flu-like symptoms or none at all. Valley fever, therefore, often goes undiagnosed and goes away without treatment. Symptoms include: In some people, however the infection may become severe and lead to a pneumonia-like illness. The disease may also affect other parts of the body, such as the skin, joints and brain. Valley fever can be fatal in people with weakened immune systems. The severe form of valley fever may develop a few weeks, months or sometimes years after the primary infection, and it may develop even after leaving the area where the fungi live. Symptoms of this form include: The heavy involvement of the lungs may cause difficulty breathing or the skin to turn bluish from lack of oxygen. If it spreads beyond the lungs, it usually involves one or more tissue sites in the bones, joints, skin, organs or brain. Sites away from the lungs often become chronic and recur, sometimes long after antifungal therapy has been completed, seemingly successfully.

Epidemiology of natural outbreaks: The disease is normally limited to the region surrounding Africa's Great Rift Valley but has been seen in the Arabian Peninsula. It is primarily a disease of livestock but can spread to man.

    Extractions: Travel Health Advisory REPORTS OF RIFT VALLEY FEVER IN KENYA AND SOMALIA Health Canada's Laboratory Centre for Disease Control has been closely monitoring reports of Rift Valley fever in Kenya and Somalia. Based on laboratory tests at the National Institute for Virology in Johannesburg, South Africa, the World Health Organization has confirmed that an outbreak of Rift Valley fever may have affected humans and domestic animals (goat, sheep, cattle and camels) in Kenya's North-Eastern, Eastern, Rift Valley, Central and Coast provinces, including some national parks. Cases have also been reported in areas near Nairobi and Mombasa. An outbreak is also reported in the flooded areas in Somalia delimited by the towns of Belet Weyne and Johar on the Shabelle River. Much of the outbreak areas is difficult to access and the full extent of the outbreak is not yet known but reports indicate that approximately 300 people and hundreds of animals have died from disease in Kenya and a similar number in Somalia. Rift Valley fever is a virus that is widespread in Africa. It is transmitted by mosquitoes as well as exposure to infected animals or their tissues. Symptoms include high fever, diarrhea, jaundice, intestinal problems, and haemorrhagic complications. Currently, there is no vaccine available for Rift Valley fever.

    Extractions: Health Canada is monitoring an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in Saudi Arabia. As of October 24, the World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed 443 suspected cases of RVF with 85 deaths in the Jizan and Asir Provinces in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Health Canada is also monitoring an outbreak of RVF in northern Yemen as reported by the Yemeni Ministry of Health.As of October 19, there have been 653 suspected cases of RVF with 80 deaths reported in the Hodeidah, Hajjah, Mahweet and Sadeh Governorates in northwestern Yemen. Teams of scientists led by the WHO are in Saudi Arabia and Yemen to carry out extensive investigations, and assist in prevention and treatment efforts. At this time, the Health Ministries of Saudi Arabia and Yemen are implementing control measures against RVF, including the disposal of dead animals and insecticide spraying to destroy mosquitoes. Prior to these outbreaks, RVF, an acute viral haemorrhagic fever affecting domestic animals and humans, had occurred only on the African continent in the eastern and southern areas.

    Extractions: Of all the people infected with Valley Fever, one or more out of 200 will develop the disseminated form, which is devastating, and can be fatal. These are the cases in which the disease spreads beyond the lungs through the bloodstream - typically to the skin, bones and the membranes surrounding the brain, causing meningitis. Valley Fever derives its name from its discovery in the San Joaquin Valley of California, where it was also referred to as "San Joaquin Valley Fever", "desert rheumatism". Valley Fever is prevalent in the San Joaquin and Central Valleys of California, and in the hot, desert regions of southern Arizona (this includes the major metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson), southern Nevada (including Las Vegas), southern Utah, southern New Mexico, western Texas (including El Paso), and Mexico (especially in the states of Sonora and Chihuahua).

94. CIDRAP >> Scientists Worry That Rift Valley Fever Could Reach US
    Jul 21, 2004 (CIDRAP News) – Rift valley fever (RVF), a mosquitoborne disease that can kill humans and animals, is starting to grab the attention of  
    http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/biosecurity/ag-biosec/news/july2104rift
    
    Extractions: The hemorrhagic fever virus has had a reputation for wreaking havoc with occasional outbreaks in Africa since at least the 1930s, when it was identified in Kenya. Rift Valley fever has remained largely confined to Africa since its debut, with brief forays into the Middle East. Experts say it's hard to measure the likelihood that the disease could reach the United States. If it did, however, it could find a home, because mosquitoes found in the US are known to be suitable hosts. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) includes RVF among its List A pathogens, which means countries must report outbreaks. Such an outbreak in the United States could stop exports in their hoofprints. "It disrupts the trade with live ruminants and meat and meat products," said Will Hueston, DVM, PhD, director of the Center for Animal Health and Food Safety at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul. "All of a sudden you've got people concerned for themselves, their pets, and the food supply." Rift Valley fever is a cunning stalker. It can lie dormant for years in mosquito eggs in small potholes in Africa. Flooding turns potholes into puddles and sparks the disease cycle. Infected adult mosquitoes feed on animals and people, passing along RVF, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Mosquitoes take up the virus along with blood when they bite infected people and many kinds of animals.
