Inadvertent Detection of Rift Valley Fever Virus by Metagenomic Sequencing in Febrile Patients Seeking Health Care at Marigat Sub-District Hospital, Baringo County, Kenya

2023-12-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Rift Valley Fever (RVF) outbreaks occur following unusually heavy rainfall and flooding, which increase the breeding activities of mosquitoes that transmit the RVF virus (RVFV). Such conditions occurred from May to June 2018 in Wajir and Marsabit counties, northeastern Kenya. In December 2019, a blood sample that had been collected in June 2018 from a febrile child attending a hospital 648 km...
