Rift Valley fever epidemic update: Three deaths out of 39 confirmed cases in Fatick in 2025
Dieyna SENE 3 days ago
Source APS – The toll of the Rift Valley fever epidemic in Fatick is three deaths out of thirty-nine confirmed cases in 2025, we learned on Friday the focal point of the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in this region, Amady Moussa Dème, also in charge of epidemiological surveillance.
“The three deaths recorded are so-called complicated cases,” said Amady Moussa Dème, during a regional development committee (CRD) meeting on the 2025 Joint Regional Annual Review of the performance of the health and public hygiene sector during the past year.
“The epidemic has affected 64 percent of people of the male sex. And the most affected age group is between 15 and 35 years old, with two cases of death,” noted Mr. Dème, while giving a presentation on the situation of the Rift Valley fever epidemic in the region.
The last human case of Rift Valley fever in the Fatick region was recorded in the Passy health district last December.
Cases of infection were initially numerous among schoolchildren and students, followed by livestock farmers, noted Amady Moussa Dème. He indicated that these were often people living in houses with herds of animals.
Regarding the situation of the epidemic in animals, he stated that 316 samples were taken from 55 herds, of which seven came back positive, corresponding to a contamination rate of 12.72%.
