Summary
Project Summary/Abstract Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a phlebovirus that belongs to the Phenuiviridae (formerly Bunyaviridae) family of negative-sense RNA viruses. As an emerging mosquito-borne virus, the significance of RVFV is highlighted by its designation as a NIAID Category A pathogen and its inclusion on the WHO's Blueprint of Priority Diseases. Recently, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) has also included RVFV as a part of their emerging infectious diseases vaccine program, further emphasizing the potential impact of RVFV on the global health and economy.
