Market Intelligence Report Rift Valley Fever Testing Market 2018 to 2028

Posted by ankush Nikam on August 9th, 2019

Rift valley fever (RVF), a viral zoonosis that commonly affects animals, has the capacity to infect humans. One of the recent outbreaks of rift valley fever have been reported in the Republic of Niger on August 11, 2016, with 105 suspected cases including 28 deaths of RVF in humans. According to World Health Organization, there is an urgent need for accelerated R&D for human treatments of RVF. Two types of tests, IgG and IgM antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay are widely adopted for rift valley fever testing.

Continuous efforts of scientists and researchers on the discovery of effective treatment is likely to contribute to the development of rift valley fever testing market. Although the disease has been reported only in Africa and the Middle East, it can spread easily and poses a big threat to other countries which in turn is likely to influence the growth of rift valley fever testing market. Further, increasing incidences of the disease among the livestock as well as humans is expected to drive the rift valley fever testing market. However, lack of awareness regarding RVF among rural population and high cost associated with the treatment may create hindrance in the rift valley fever testing market.

Rift Valley Fever is an acute mosquito born viral disease caused by a virus belonging to the family Bunyaviridae and the genus Phlebovirus. It is a fever causing virus which most commonly affects domesticated animals, such as cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and camel. The virus also has the ability to infect and cause illnesses in human beings. Rift valley fever was first reported in livestock by veterinary officers in Kenya’s Rift Valley in the early 1910’s. Rift valley fever exists in most of the sub-saharan Africa, Western Africa and Madagascar, but it is also found in the Eastern and Southern regions of Africa where sheep and cattle are reared. Rift valley fever outbreak was also reported in Saudi Arabia in September, 2000. Outbreaks of rift valley fever increase the likelihood of contact between humans and deceased animals, which can lead to an epidemic of rift valley fever in humans. In 1977, the virus was detected in Egypt and caused a large outbreak in both humans and animals, resulting in over 600 human deaths in the country.
