Experts Warn Against Raw Milk Following Rift Valley Fever Outbreak in Kenya

en had crossed the Sahara into Egypt by 1977 and by 1999 had traversed the Red Sea into Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Prior to 1977, it was considered primarily a veterinarian's disease. It wasn't until the Marburg filovirus attained international attention that Rift Valley fever was also identified as a cause of human hemorrhagic fever.

Patients who contract the virus usually experience fever, weakness, joint pain, dizziness and an extreme weight loss.

Typically, patients recover within two days to one week after the onset of illness, but about one percent develop a severe infection and half of these die, suffering hemorrhaging. There are no known vaccines for humans.

Outbreaks are often associated with periods of heavy rainfall, after which the mosquito population flourishes. Outbreaks have been reported in Kenya, Sudan, Egypt, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Mali, Mauritania, Madagascar, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
