Resumen
Descripción
Seasonal forecasts produced for the West African region seem to indicate an increased probability of observing a wet and long rainy season from July to September 2005. If the current forecast is confirmed in the coming weeks / months, there will be a higher risk of vector-borne disease occurrence towards October-November in high risk areas of West Africa. Active and passive disease surveillance for Rift Valley fever and other vector-borne diseases need to be strengthened during the coming weeks and surveillance activities should be stepped up.
