February 6, 2007
Rift Valley Fever (RVF), a deadly viral disease that broke out in Kenya in late 2006, has spread to neighbouring Tanzania, where two deaths have been reported in the northern region of Arusha, a government official said Tuesday.
"The two were admitted to Mount Meru Hospital after contracting the disease last week," Evance Balama, the acting Arusha regional commissioner, said.
He said the two, from a village known as Terat, became ill after eating mutton and were taken to hospital.
