Valley fever in Africa
FCC-Information Sheets | July 2019
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a vector-borne disease that severely impacts livelihoods, national and international markets, and human health. RVF is currently limited to Africa and parts of the Near East but has the recognized potential to expand globally. The disease in livestock is spread primarily by mosquitoes and the movement of animals. Clinical disease has been observed in sheep, goats, cattle, buffaloes, camels and humans. RVF is zoonotic.

The livestock sub-sector is a major feature in Ghana’s agriculture and contributes largely towards meeting food needs, providing dietary protein and increasing nutrient adequacy, providing employment opportunities, offering considerable prospects for wealth generation, income enhancement and improvement in rural livelihoods. Enhancing local capacities of animal disease surveillance and reporting systems are crucial to protect livestock, people’s income and food security. In light of this, FAO has launched an Event Mobile Application to support surveillance and reporting...[Download full document<http://www.fao.org/3/ca5488en/ca5488en.pdf>]
