  abstract = {{M}ajor explosive outbreaks of {R}ift {V}alley fever ({RVF}), an arthropod borne zoonotic disease, occur in humans and animals with significant mortality and economic impact across continental {A}frica and the {I}ndian {O}cean region ({M}adagascar, the {C}omoros archipelago). {R}ecently, sporadic human cases have been reported in {M}ayotte and {G}rande {C}omore, two islands belonging to the {C}omoros archipelago. {T}o identify the hypothetical source of virus introduction in an inter-epidemic or a post-epidemic period, a longitudinal survey of livestock was set up in {C}omorian ruminant populations, known to be susceptible hosts. {T}he phylogeographic genomic analysis has shown that {RVF} virus ({RVFV}) detected in a zebu collected in {A}njouan in {A}ugust 2011 seems to be related to the last known epidemic of {RVF} which occurred in {E}ast {A}frica and {M}adagascar (2007-2009). {T}his result highlights the fact that {RVFV} is maintained within local livestock populations and transboundary animal movements from eastern continental {A}frica to {I}ndian {O}cean islands likely result in {RVFV} crossover.},
