  abstract = {{I}n two areas of {S}enegal where previous evidence of {R}ift {V}alley {F}ever ({RVF}) virus circulation was detected, {B}arkedji in the {S}ahelian bioclimatic zone and {K}edougou in the {S}udano-{G}uinean zone, a longitudinal study of the enzootic maintenance of {RVF} virus was undertaken from 1991 to 1993. {M}osquitoes, sand flies, and ticks were collected and domestic ungulates were monitored with serologic surveys. {RVF} virus was not isolated in {K}edougou. {I}n {B}arkedji, {RVF} virus was isolated from #{A}edes vexans$ and #{A}e. ochraceus$ mosquitoes collected in traps near ground pools and cattle droves and from one healthy sheep. {S}and flies were not involved in the maintenance cycle. {S}eroconversions were recorded in three (1,9%) of 160 monitored sheep and goats. {T}he interepizootic vectors appeared to belong to the #{A}edes$ subgenus #neomelaniconion$ in {E}ast {A}frica, and to the subgenus #aedimorphus$ in {W}est {A}frica. {E}pizootics in {E}ast {A}frica are associated with an increase in rainfall. {H}owever, factors associated with epizootics remain unknown for {W}est {A}frica.
