Mammals can contract Rift Valley Fever, an acute viral disease spread by vectors. Because of its ability to spread like wildfire and the absence of viable defenses, the virus is included as a priority pathogen on the World Health Organization's Blueprint list. A virus that is spread by mosquitoes that causes ruminant and human zoonosis has serious negative effects on public health and the economy when it breaks out in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. A virus belonging to the family Bunyaviridae, which is a group of enclosed single-stranded RNA viruses, is the cause of the illness. It is classified as a phagovirus. Compared to adults, young animals have a far higher chance of being impacted. In mature sheep, cattle, and goats, abortion is a frequent result. Through interaction with diseased livestock and mosquito bites, humans can contract the disease. Large-scale morbidity and mortality in cattle and humans can result from outbreaks. A number of kinds of mosquitoes are the main vector for the spread of Rift Valley disease. Vertically infected eggs from the main Aedes species vectors, which emerge after heavy rains and widespread flooding, serve as a reservoir for the virus in between epidemics. Rift Valley Fever has no approved specific treatment; supportive care in general is the means of management. Based on epidemiological characteristics, Rift Valley Fever is diagnosed, and the organism's identification provides confirmation. Mosquito control can lessen the persistent method of preventing Rift Valley Animal vaccinations against fever are the best way to prevent fever infection in endemic areas. Effective vector management programs should also be put in place, and an ongoing human-animal surveillance system should be established and strengthened.
