Overview

Cross-sectional study found 41.1% RVFV seroprevalence in small ruminants, highlighting risk factors at wildlife interfaces in Uganda.

Key Points

  • Overall RVFV seropositivity among small ruminants was 41.1%, indicating significant exposure risks in the region.
  • Local breeds showed a reduced exposure risk to RVFV, while older animals had higher seropositivity rates during the study.
  • Analysis included 1,690 small ruminants sampled across various conservation areas, providing a robust dataset for the research.
  • Interventions such as regulated grazing and continuous surveillance are needed to mitigate RVFV transmission risks.
