This paper investigates a three-patch Rift Valley fever virus transmission model with periodic coefficients. The basic reproduction number Ri0i=1,2,3 is calculated for the model by using the next infection operator method. The threshold conditions on the extinction and permanence in the mean of the disease with probability one. The Rift Valley fever disease will be permanent in the j-th j=1,2,3 patch if j≥i,Ri0>1 and dies out in the j-th patch if j<i. The numerical simulations are given to confirm the theoretical results.

Rift Valley fever virus causes an important zoonotic disease of humans and small ruminants in Eastern Africa and is spread primarily by a mosquito vector. In this region, it occurs as epizootics that typically occur at 5–15-year intervals associated with unusual rainfall events. It has hitherto been known that the virus is maintained between outbreaks in dormant eggs of the mosquito vector and this has formed the basis of understanding of the epidemiology and control strategies of the disease. We show here that seroconversion and sporadic acute disease do occur during the interepidemic periods (IEPs) in the absence of reported cases in livestock or humans. The finding indicates that previously undetected low-level virus transmission during the IEPs does occur and that epizootics may also be due to periodic expansion of mosquito vectors in the presence of both circulating virus and naïve animals.
