Abstract Dengue is a major vector-borne disease in Nepal, driven by container-breeding Aedes mosquitoes that thrive in domestic, urban settings. Its risk is increasing from the lowland Terai to the Hill and Mountain regions due to urbanisation and global warming. Practical and innovative approaches are needed to better understand the impact on Aedes mosquito habitats that are the main targets for vector control.

| Nature Verified
Abstract Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic arbovirus, and livestock cases are often underreported in endemic countries due to reliance on passive clinical surveillance. During the 2023–2024 El Niño event, Kenya experienced widespread flooding, but no RVF outbreaks were reported in the southern regions. We implemented slaughterhouse-based surveillance in southern Kenya from May 2023—June 2024, using five consecutive cross-sectional surveys.
