Notes
After Yemen and Saudi Arabia, now it is the turn of Kenya to be hit by cases of Rift Valley fever. This virus is carried by mosquitoes and attacks animals, though it can also attack humans. Sudan has closed its borders with Kenya to limit the spread of the disease. In a separate case, several countries have placed an embargo on imports of animal products from the province of KwaZulu Natal (South Africa) which has been affected by an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease.
