A systematic review was carried out to identify scientific articles documenting on seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever and Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever infections of livestock and humans known to date to cause disease with associated risk in articles published from 2011 to 2021. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement (PRISMA) 2020 expanded checklist were used to summarize the article selection process. Search strategy was developed to retrieve eligible studies from PubMed (Medline)/OVOID, Animal Health and Production Compendium (CABI) and SciQuest (NZVA). The preliminary search retrieved 2,213 articles on the specified areas: 1,515 articles on Rift Valley Fever Virus and 698 articles on Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus. Finally, a total of 106 (64 on RVFV and 42 on CCHFV) openly available articles were retained for the review process from 30 and 23 different countries, respectively. The articles were clustered into three clusters: articles on livestock sera, articles on human sera and articles from both human and different livestock (cattle, sheep, goat and camel) serum. The systematic review showed the pooled seroprevalence of RVFV (13.16%) and CCHFV (9.6%). The descriptive statistical analysis revealed statistical difference in the seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever in sheep, goat and camel (X2=771.857840, 787.903297, 358.448980; p-value=0.002971*, 0.008652*, 0.000000**), respectively in different countries. In conclusion, this systematic review reflects circulation of RVF and CCKF in the world with complex ecology of vectors and the establishment of sustained transmission and the emergence of human and/or animal disease influenced by multiple factors.
