EFSA has completed its series of assessments on Rift Valley fever (RVF) with a scientific opinion looking at the聽.
The latest opinion follows two opinions published earlier this year which assessed respectively the聽聽and the聽.
Background
Rift Valley fever is a vector-borne disease transmitted by mosquitoes to animals 鈥� domestic and wild ruminants and camels 鈥� and humans.
The disease is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and in the Arabian Peninsula, but has never been reported in continental Europe although its range is expanding. In 2018-19 it reappeared after ten years in Mayotte, where there have been outbreaks involving multiple human cases.
