“…27,29 (2) Vector transmission occurs through the bite of infected mosquitoes. 30 The 18 Although RVF transmission to humans by infected mosquitoes was never been directly reported, probably more than one species of the Ae. tarsalis group and 78 mosquito species from eight genera have been associated with RVFV.…”

Abstract. Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a viral zoonotic disease occurring throughout Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Madagascar. The disease is caused by a Phlebovirus (RVF virus [RVFV]) transmitted to vertebrate hosts through the bite of infected mosquitoes. In Madagascar, the first RVFV circulation was reported in 1979 based on detection in mosquitoes but without epidemic episode. Subsequently, two outbreaks occurred: the first along the east coast and in the central highlands in 1990 and 1991 and the most recent along the northern and eastern coasts and in the central highlands in 2008 and 2009. Despite the presence of 24 mosquitoes species potentially associated with RVFV transmission in Madagascar, little associated entomological information is available. In this review, we list the RVFV vector, Culex antennatus, as well as other taxa as candidate vector species. We discuss risk factors from an entomological perspective for the re-emergence of RVF in Madagascar.

“…Firstly, the appropriate climatic conditions for multiplication of insects with absence of effective insects control programs. Secondly, camels and wild animals play an important role in establishment the endemic RVFV cycle [15,16]. Thirdly, vaccination of livestock with RVF vaccines plays an important role in the endemicity of the disease in Egypt [17].…”

Rift valley Fever (RFV) caused by RVF virus (RVFV) an acute febrile arbovirus in the Phlebovirus genus and Bunyaviridae family, is an OIE-listed, and is a viral zoonosis that primarily affects animals but also has the capacity to infect humans. The disease remained a veterinary concern in East Africa until a major outbreak occurred in Egypt in 1977. A second outbreak occurred in the Middle East was recorded in 2000 when RVF moved into Saudi Arabia and Yemen. In order to highlight the urgent need of establishing a health system for controlling RVF and to document the principal lessons collected from the recent outbreak as tools to inform veterinary preparedness and response plans for future RVF outbreaks in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, this review article aims to providing the basic information on ecological and epidemiological aspects associated RVF outbreaks in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
