Although RVF outbreaks are usually reported at 5-15-year intervals in sub-Saharan Africa, Zambia has experienced an unusually long inter-epizootic\/-epidemic period of more than three decades. However, serological evidence of RVF virus (RVFV) infection in domestic ruminants during this period underscores the need for comprehensive investigation of the mechanisms of virus perpetuation and disease emergence. Mosquitoes (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 16,778) captured from eight of the ten provinces of Zambia between April 2014 and May 2019 were pooled (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 961) and screened for RVFV genome by a pan-phlebo RT-PCR assay. <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> mosquito pools (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 85) were further screened by nested RT-PCR assay. Sera from sheep (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 13), goats (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 259) and wild ungulates (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 285) were screened for RVFV antibodies by ELISA while genome detection in pooled sera (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 276) from domestic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 248) and wild ungulates (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 37) was performed by real-time RT-PCR assay. To examine the association between the long inter-epizootic period and climatic variables, we examined El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation indices, precipitation anomalies, and normalized difference vegetation index. We then derived RVF risk maps by exploring climatic variables that would favor emergence of primary RVFV vectors. While no RVFV genome could be detected in pooled mosquito and serum samples, seroprevalence was significantly high (OR = 8.13, 95% CI [4.63\u201314.25]) in wild ungulates (33.7%; 96\/285) compared to domestic ruminants (5.6%; 16\/272). Retrospective analysis of RVF epizootics in Zambia showed a positive correlation between anomalous precipitation (La Ni\u00f1a) and disease emergence. On risk mapping, whilst northern and eastern parts of the country were at high risk, domestic ruminant population density was low (&lt; 21 animals\/km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) in these areas compared to low risk areas (&gt;21 animals\/km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Besides evidence of silent circulation of RVFV and the risk of disease emergence in some areas, wildlife may play a role in the maintenance of RVFV in Zambia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0010420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]],"date-time":"2022-06-02T17:44:07Z","timestamp":1654191847000},"page":"e0010420","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pntd.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["An unusually long Rift valley fever inter-epizootic period in Zambia: Evidence for enzootic virus circulation and risk for disease outbreak"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Herman M.","family":"Chambaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuyo","family":"Hirose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1607-2175","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michihito","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8215-5572","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Brigadier","family":"Libanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7092-9884","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yona","family":"Sinkala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Fandamu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8874-3965","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Walter","family":"Muleya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fredrick","family":"Banda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2126-5759","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Joseph","family":"Chizimu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Squarre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Misheck","family":"Shawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8621-5472","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yongjin","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6704-4601","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hayato","family":"Harima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1468-703X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yuki","family":"Eshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9423-0816","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Edgar","family":"Simulundu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2569-2755","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hirofumi","family":"Sawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9910-3912","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yasuko","family":"Orba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"pntd.0010420.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"545","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1700340418","article-title":"Enzootic Hepatitis or Rift Valley Fever.
