Complete coding sequence of Rift Valley fever virus identified by metagenomic sequencing in patient with undifferentiated febrile illness at Marigat sub-district hospital, Kenya.

We report on the complete coding sequence of Rift Valley Fever Virus inadvertently identified through metagenomics in a child with undifferentiated fever at Marigat sub-county hospital, Kenya. On phylogeny, the genome clustered with sequences obtained during the 2017 human outbreak in Uganda and the 2021 cattle outbreak in Kiambu, Kenya.
