The human and livestock density in the area has increased greatly in recent years, but little work has been done on arboviral diseases and their potential impact on human and livestock health. The aim of this study was to detect the circulation of zoonotic arboviruses such as Rift Valley fever virus and West Nile viruses in the livestock population and to estimate seroprevalence in Afar pastoral area northeast Ethiopia. Cross\u2010sectional serological survey was carried out in 736 serum samples from which cattle (224), camel (155), goats (121), sheep (144), and donkeys (92) were tested for the presence of anti\u2010RVFV and anti\u2010WNV IgG using a competitive enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay (c\u2010ELISA) in two purposively selected districts of the Afar region. The present study revealed a 9.1% (95% CI\u2009=\u20098.86\u20139.29) seroprevalence of co\u2010circulation of RVF and WNV. High 32\/155 (20.7%) seroprevalence of co\u2010circulation was seen in camels, followed by goat 14\/121 (11.6%), cattle 16\/224 (7.14%), and sheep 5\/144 (3.5%), respectively, and higher 41\/421 (9.7%) seroprevalence of co\u2010circulation was observed in <jats:italic>Amibara<\/jats:italic> district than <jats:italic>Haruka<\/jats:italic> district. Camels were seven times (OR: 7.016, 95% CI\u2009=\u20092.639\u201318.653) more likely to be seropositive for the co\u2010circulation than sheep (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2264 0.001). Livestock herds found in <jats:italic>Amibara<\/jats:italic> district were 1.2 times (OR: 1.165, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.680\u20131.996) more likely to be seropositive for RVFV infection than those in <jats:italic>Haruka<\/jats:italic> areas. Given the co\u2010occurrence of RVFV and WNV circulations, along with often suboptimal human and animal health surveillance in many similar areas\u2019 attention should be given. Investigation of the potential socioeconomic and health impacts of zoonotic arbovirus infections in such areas is crucial. Since both RVFV and WNFV are transmitted through a mosquito vector, avoiding mosquito bites is the primary method of prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2024\/8249077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]],"date-time":"2024-08-26T11:49:52Z","timestamp":1724672992000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Seroprevalence and Co\u2010Circulation of Rift Valley Fever Virus and West Nile Fever Virus in Livestock Population of Afar Region, Northeast Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9438-3871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jemberu Alemu","family":"Megenas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0407-2365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mengistu Legesse","family":"Dadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7349-7706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tesfu Kassa","family":"Mekonnen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0967-4293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James W.","family":"Larrick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4200-884X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gezahegne Mamo","family":"Kassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/challe13020060"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","volume-title":"Emerging and Re-emerging Arboviral Diseases as a Global Health Problem.
