Abstract

This study assesses the seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever (RVF) in ruminants in Dhobley, Somalia, following a 2021 outbreak in Kenya. Among 142 ruminants sampled, 4.9% were seropositive for RVF virus (RVFV) antibody, with IgM antibodies (1.4%) indicating recent exposure, though no cases were RT-PCR-positive. Unregulated livestock movement and limited surveillance pose significant risks for future outbreaks, underscoring the need for enhanced surveillance systems and One Health strategies.

2021年索马里下朱巴地区Dhobley镇反刍动物中裂谷热血清流行情况。

本研究评估了2021年肯尼亚暴发裂谷热后索马里Dhobley反刍动物中裂谷热（RVF）的血清患病率。在142只反刍动物样本中，4.9%的动物血清裂谷热病毒抗体（RVFV）呈阳性，其中IgM抗体（1.4%）表明最近接触过裂谷热病毒，但没有病例呈rt - pcr阳性。不受管制的牲畜流动和有限的监测对未来的疫情构成重大风险，强调需要加强监测系统和“同一个卫生”战略。

期刊介绍： Epidemiology & Infection publishes original reports and reviews on all aspects of infection in humans and animals. Particular emphasis is given to the epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases. The scope covers the zoonoses, outbreaks, food hygiene, vaccine studies, statistics and the clinical, social and public-health aspects of infectious disease, as well as some tropical infections. It has become the key international periodical in which to find the latest reports on recently discovered infections and new technology. For those concerned with policy and planning for the control of infections, the papers on mathematical modelling of epidemics caused by historical, current and emergent infections are of particular value.
