the weather forecasting and satellite imaging data in November, we were already thinking, 'Rift,'" said Dr. Pierre Formenty, a WHO disease expert who was recently in Kenya to help contain the outbreak.

Once the Kenyan government was informed of the likelihood of an outbreak, they outlawed the sacrificing of cows, camels, goats and sheep during the Muslim Eid festival. That was done to minimize the contact between humans and infected animals, and is believed to have cut the risk factor for virus transmission to humans.
