	REPORTS OF RIFT VALLEY FEVER IN KENYA AND SOMALIA - Travel Medicine Program - Public Health Agency of Canada
		Rift Valley fever is a virus that is widespread in Africa.
		Although the diagnosis of Rift Valley fever has been confirmed by laboratory tests in some of the blood samples, it may not be the cause of all of the deaths.
		Because the population affected is generally exposed to a wide variety of infectious diseases, other severe diseases that normally occur in the area, such as shigellosis, yellow fever, dengue, and malaria, may partially explain the large number of deaths in the region.

		While the eastern half slopes gently to the coral-backed seashore, the western portion rises more abruptly through a series of hills and plateaus to the Eastern Rift Valley, known in Kenya as the Central Rift.
		West of the Rift is a westward-sloping plateau, the lowest part of which is occupied by Lake Victoria.
		Within this basic division, Kenya is divided into the following geographic regions: the Lake Victoria basin, the Rift Valley and associated highlands, the eastern plateau forelands, the semiarid and arid areas of the north and south, and the coast.

	tanzania's great rift valley
		Created by the rifting and tectonic forces of East Africa and Saudi Arabia millions of years ago, the Great Rift Valley is actually divided into two forks, the eastern rift and the western rift.
		Evidence of volcanic activity along the rift is seen by the presence of numerous boiling hot springs.
		Named by the explorer John Walter Gregory, the Rift Valley is continuously moving and in a few million years, eastern Africa will probably split off to form a new land mass.

	Rift Valley Fever Outbreak Widespread in Kenya
		The outbreak of Rift Valley fever, which had previously been reported in the North-eastern Province of Kenya, appears to be present in other parts of the country, according to WHO experts now in Kenya.
		Testing capacity for Rift Valley fever in humans at the WHO Collaborating Centre, the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), has been established in collaboration with the WHO Collaborating Centre at the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control in Atlanta, USA.
		Rift Valley fever may not be the sole cause of the outbreak, but recent evidence suggests that malaria and cholera are not playing as great a role as has been previously reported.

	Rift Valley Fever \| CDC Special Pathogens Branch
		Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute, fever-causing viral disease that affects domestic animals (such as cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, and camels) and humans.
		RVF is generally found in regions of eastern and southern Africa where sheep and cattle are raised, but the virus also exists in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa and in Madagascar.
		These cases represent the first Rift Valley fever cases identified outside Africa.

		The DRC is endowed with extensive fisheries resources, found mostly in the eastern Rift Valley lakes and in the riverine and swamp fisheries of the vast Congo Basin.
		DRC's share of the Rift Valley lakes found on its eastern border amounts to an additional 25 000 km2 of additional inland water area.
		Shared between Uganda (54%) and the DRC (46%), the broad waters of Albert (5 270 km2) are fed by the Semliki River from the south and the River Nile, which loops in and out of the northern tip of the lake.

		From view points at the top of the Kikuyu Escarpment, we have marvellous panoramas of the Great Rift Valley with Mount Longonot and Mount Suswa rising from the valley floor.
		We should see flamingos clustering around the lake shore and if lucky, the elusive Greater Kudu hiding in the dry bush country - this lake is one of the few remaining areas in Kenya where they are still seen regularly.
		The Eastern Wall of the Rift Valley forms an impressive back drop to our camp beside the lake and the morning and evening light offer wonderful opportunities for the keen photographer.

	Rift Valley Fever
		Scientists are learning that the key to predicting certain epidemics -- like Rift Valley fever in Africa or Hanta virus in the U.S. -- lies in an unexpected place: the ocean.
		On the dusty savannahs of eastern Africa, where livestock sustain the economy, about twice a decade an epidemic whips through to decimate the herds.
		The method used to forecast Rift Valley fever could be expanded to predict other types of epidemics.

		Kichiritith is located in a swampy area between lakes Bogoria and Baringo; difficulties of access have meant that it is apparently undisturbed.
		In this, it is different from the two most important freshwater lakes of the eastern Rift Valley: Lake Baringo, situated 8 km north of Kichiritith, and Lake Naivasha.
		We suggest that Lake Kichiritith may be used as a reference site, providing background conditions for assessing the original state of Lake Baringo and, by extension, of other freshwater bodies of the eastern Rift Valley.
