There are tanks of this disease in many African countries. Rift Valley Fever is often found after the seasons of heavy rains and cases have been documented to the north as in the Middle East due to the travel of infected people or animals and animal products that contain the virus. One very common way of transmission is through the insect vector. Insects, such as mosquitoes that bite animals, can pass the virus between animals and when the insect bites people, they injure the virus into the human bloodstream. People can also get Rift Valley by manipulating infected animals and animal products such as meat and milk, and can pass the virus with each other due to poor hygiene, such as not to catch their hands after touch.
