A virus disease, caused by a phlebovirus and transmitted by mosquitoes, at one time confined to sub-Saharan Africa and predominantly found in domestic animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. In the 1970s the disease flared up in Egypt, probably owing to a more virulent virus. The illness in humans is characterized by fever, haemorrhages, encephalitis and involvement of the eye. An effective vaccine protects both animals and human beings against the disease.
