The rivers and swamps of the Lower Guinean forest comprise the Lower Guinean ichthyological province and possess different species from those of the Sudano-Nilotic province to the north and the Congo province to the East and South.
The icthyofauna of these rivers is dominated by the Siluriformes (6 families, 23 genera, 102 species), the Characiformes (2 families, 20 genera, 62 species), the Cichlidae (17 genera, 54 species) the Cyprinidae (10 genera, 79 species) and the Mormyridae (14 genera, 49 species).

 Which rivers flow through Cameroon? - Blurtit
The Benue River, Logon River, Mayo Kébbi, Nyong River, Sanaga River and Sangha River, all flow through Cameroon.
The Wouri, Sanaga, Nyong, and Ntem, which are the principal rivers in the south, flow south westward or westward directly, emptying into the Gulf of Guinea.
The Benoué River, in Northern Cameroon, runs north and west, eventually draining into the Niger, and the Logone River, which flows northward, empties into Lake Chad.

 Ross River Virus Disease Reemergence, Fiji | CDC EID
We report 2 recent apparent cases of Ross River virus disease ("epidemic polyarthritis") in Canadian travelers to Fiji, ≈1,000 miles from the region (Australia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands) where the virus is endemic, enzootic, and often epidemic (1).
In 1999, a suspected case of Ross River virus disease was reported in a German traveler returning from Fiji and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands (9).
The second hypothesis, considered unlikely (7), is that Ross River virus became established in Fiji after the 1979–1980 epidemic but remained undetected while causing sporadic and largely unrecognized human cases.

 Ross River virus disease reemergence, Fiji, 2003-2004 Emerging Infectious Diseases - Find Articles
We report 2 recent apparent cases of Ross River virus disease ("epidemic polyarthritis") in Canadian travelers to Fiji, [approximately equal to] 1,000 miles from the region (Australia, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands) where the virus is endemic, enzootic, and often epidemic (1).
Ross River virus, a mosquitoborne alphavirus in the family Togaviridae, is a single-stranded, enveloped RNA virus.
In 1979, Ross River virus spread dramatically to the South Pacific islands (probably imported by a viremic person arriving from Australia), including Fiji, American Samoa, Wallis and the Cook Islands, causing the largest Ross River virus epidemic ever recorded (4-8).

 CRORA : RESUME DES PUBLICATIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
We have sequenced the nsP3 and nsP4 region of two alphaviruses, Ross River virus and O'Nyong-nyong virus, in order to examine these viruses for the presence or absence of an opal termination codon present between nsP3 and nsP4 in many alphaviruses.
We found that Ross River virus possesses an in-phase opal termination codon between nsP3 and nsP4, whereas in O'Nyong-nyong virus this termination codon is replaced by an arginine codon.
The nsP3s are somewhat less conserved, sharing 52-73% amino acid sequence similarity throughout most of the protein, but each possesses a nonconserved C-terminal domain of 134 to 246 amino acids of unknown function.

During the early years of the reign of King Injong (reg 1122–46), Yi Nyong accompanied the diplomat Yi Cha-dok to China, where he is said to have achieved great fame at the court of the Northern Song emperor Huizong (reg 1100–25), himself a painter and patron of the arts.
Yi Nyong was repeatedly called to the Inner Palace in the Koryo capital of Kaesong to render his services as a painter to the throne.
It may be supposed that Yi Nyong painted in the mannered, formalized style characteristic of the professional landscape painters of the painting academy in Kaifeng, the Northern Song capital.

The crippling arthralgia and frequent arthritis that accompany the fever and other systemic symptoms are clinically distinct.
Several other togaviruses of the alphavirus genus (Ross River, O’nyong-nyong, etc) have been associated with a similar syndrome.
The isolation of Ross River virus from mosquitoes and its serologic association with epidemic polyarthritis led to better understanding of the disease.

 CDC - Family Cluster of Mayaro Fever, Venezuela
Mayaro virus (MAYV), the cause of Mayaro fever, is a member of the genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, and is closely related to Chikungunya, O'nyong-nyong, Ross River, Barmah Forest, and Sindbis viruses (1–3).
In addition, serologic survey data suggest that MAYV infection is relatively common among humans in rural populations of northern South America and the Amazon River basin (2,8,9,14–16).
This virus is believed to be maintained in a sylvan cycle involving wild vertebrates, such as nonhuman primates and possibly birds, and Haemagogus mosquitoes (2,8,18).

This pipeline carries the heavy Chadian crude to the offshore loading terminal near Kribi on the Bight of Biafra. 
At least 13 mandatory violations of safety and environmental standards emerged in 2003 and 2004 studies, which included faulty or non-existent main pipeline valves along river crossings, allowing oil to flow into the Nyong River whenever it ruptured.
The non-installation of these valve stations saved the consortium almost $500 million, not far short of Cameroon’s total revenues over the next 25 years.
