| dc.description | Since early August 2016, several human cases of Rift Valley fever (RVF), including some deaths, have been notified in Niger. According to the field investigations an increased mortality and abortions in small ruminants, cattle and camels have been observed. The impact of this outbreak on public health and animal husbandry of the affected area is considered serious. In addition, the risk of transboundary spread is arising a great concern in international organizations. Given the severe epidemiolo gical situation in Niger, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in consultation with international external experts, prepared a rapid qualitative risk assessment in order to evaluate the impact of this RVF outbreak in Niger in animal production and human health and to estimate the risks of short and medium term spread of the infection to the neighbouring countries. The developed rapid risk assessment is based on the information available until the 14th of October 20 16. | |
