Senegal's worst Rift Valley Fever outbreak in decades has caused 17 deaths and 119 cases, fueled by climate-driven floods and mosquito surges.
Senegal is facing its worst Rift Valley Fever outbreak in decades, with 17 deaths and 119 cases reported, mostly in the northern livestock region.
The outbreak, declared on September 21, is linked to climate change-driven heavy rains and flooding that boosted mosquito populations.
The virus spreads to humans through mosquito bites or contact with infected animals, with severe cases potentially leading to hemorrhagic fever or eye damage.
Though endemic since the 1980s, outbreaks are becoming more frequent and intense, raising public health and agricultural concerns.
Limited early warning systems and low awareness hinder response efforts.
