Rift valley fever virus (RVFV) belongs to the Bunyavirales order, which is a family of enveloped negative single stranded RNA viruses. RVFV causes the rift valley fever (RVF), a viral zoonosis. The infection of RVFV happens primarily in animals such as cows, sheep, goats, camels, etc. Humans can also be infected. The virus is transmitted through mosquito vectors, as well as through contact with the tissue of infected animals. Two species—Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Aedes vexans—are known to transmit the virus. The virus has been isolated from two bat species: the Peter's epauletted fruit bat (Micropteropus pusillus) and the aba roundleaf bat (Hipposideros abae), which are believed to be reservoirs for the virus.
