Abstract

Bastard et al. estimate the extent of zoonotic human infections during the 2018–2019 Rift Valley Fever outbreak in Mayotte, France, combining passive surveillance and serological data. Estimating the case reporting fraction shows that syndromic surveillance fails to capture most infections during the epidemic.
