“…The large outbreak in Kenya and Somalia involving around 89,000 human infections with 250 deaths was ascribed to Rift Valley fever, but 27% of a sample of approximately 115 acute haemorrhagic cases was due to NRIV based on PCR and/or IgM antibody, while RVF could only be confirmed in 23% of such haemorrhagic cases [ 41 , 43 ]. NRIV is stated to be more virulent than BUNV and BATV and is associated with hemorrhagic fever [ 42 ]. The virus has also been found in sheep and goats in Mauritania [ 42 ].…”

Mosquito-borne arboviruses of African origin: review of key viruses and vectors

et al. 2018

Key aspects of 36 mosquito-borne arboviruses indigenous to Africa are summarized, including lesser or poorly-known viruses which, like Zika, may have the potential to escape current sylvatic cycling to achieve greater geographical distribution and medical importance. Major vectors are indicated as well as reservoir hosts, where known. A series of current and future risk factors is addressed. It is apparent that Africa has been the source of most of the major mosquito-borne viruses of medical importance that currently constitute serious global public health threats, but that there are several other viruses with potential for international challenge. The conclusion reached is that increased human population growth in decades ahead coupled with increased international travel and trade is likely to sustain and increase the threat of further geographical spread of current and new arboviral disease.

“…In Kenya and Somalia (1998–1999), the Garissa strain of NRIV was identified in what was thought to be a RVFV outbreak, owing to the hemorrhagic manifestations of infection ( 4 ). In 2010, during an ongoing RVFV outbreak in Mauritania, NRIV was again isolated in goats ( 32 ). NRIV has additionally been isolated in Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, and Madagascar ( 30 ).…”

Bunyamwera (BUNV), Batai (BATV), and Ngari (NRIV) are mosquito-borne viruses of the Bunyamwera serogroup in the Orthobunyavirus genus of the Bunyaviridae family. These three viruses have been found to cause disease in both livestock animals, avian species, and humans. Thus, these viruses pose a potential threat to human public health, animal health, and food security. This is especially the case in the developing nations, where BUNV and NRIV are found, mainly in Africa. BUNV and BATV are fairly well characterized, while NRIV is not well characterized owing to only sporadic detection in human and animal populations in Africa. Reassortment is common among bunyaviruses, but NRIV is believed to be the only natural reassortant of the Bunyamwera serogroup. It resulted from a combination of BUNV S and L segments and the BATV M segment. This indicates at least some level co-circulation of BUNV and BATV, which have no historically been reported to overlap in geographic distributions. But as these viruses are undercharacterized, there remains a gap in the understanding of how such reassortment could occur, and the consequences of such. Due to their combined wide range of hosts and vectors, geographic distributions, potential severity of associated diseases, and potential for transmissibility between vertebrate hosts, these viruses represent a significant gap in knowledge with important One Health implications. The goal of this review is to report available knowledge of and identify potential future directions for study of these viruses. As these are collectively understudied viruses, there is a relative paucity of data; however, we use available studies to discuss different perspectives in an effort to promote a better understanding of these three viruses and the public and One Health threat(s) they may pose.

“…The virus can be seen in animals and it is believed that the animals can be the reservoir host [15]. In a recent report by Eiden et al [15], there is a high rate of Ngari virus in goats during Rift Valley fever outbreak. Of interest, Ngari virus is reported for high structural similarity with another new emerging virus, Ilesha that is also detected in Africa [16].…”

The virus can be seen in animals and it is believed that the animals can be the reservoir host [15].
