Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an emerging zoonotic virus of major public health and veterinary concern across Africa. Although past genomic studies have focused on outbreak response and lineage classification, the molecular mechanisms driving viral persistence and adaptation remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify RVFV protein-coding mutations and adaptive signatures across multiple...
