M2 PRESSWIRE-16 February 2007-US ARS: Model Successfully Predicts Rift Valley Fever Outbreak(C)1994-2007 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
RDATE:16022007
A Rift Valley fever outbreak was successfully predicted several months in advance for the first time with a model developed by a team assembled by an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist.
In October 2006, when the model predicted that Rift Valley fever would flare up within three months in sub-Saharan Africa, a warning was sent to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, which then passed on the warning to countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Somalia.
