Molecular Epidemiology and Phylogeny of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) Virus of Ixodid Ticks in Khorasan Razavi Province of Iran [PDF]

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2021
Background: Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a fatal disease caused by Nairovirus classified within the Bunyaviridae family. The virus is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected ticks or direct contact with viremic animals or humans.

The Prevalence and Genetic Variants of the CCHF Virus Circulating among Ticks in the Southern Regions of Kazakhstan [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease cases are registered annually in endemic regions of Kazakhstan. To study the prevalence of various Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) genotypes, a total of 694 ticks were collected from southern regions of Kazakhstan in 2021.

Risk factors for Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus exposure in farming communities in Uganda [PDF]

Journal of Infection, 2022
Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is an emerging human-health threat causing sporadic outbreaks in livestock farming communities. However, the full extent and the risks associated with exposure of such communities has not previously been well-described.We collected blood samples from 800 humans, 666 cattle, 549 goats and 32 dogs in districts ...

Prognostic Value of Admission Glucose and Extended Lipid Profile in Patients with Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life‐threatening viral hemorrhagic fever with a highly variable clinical course. While viral and inflammatory markers determining disease severity are well defined, the impact of the host's metabolic status on CCHF severity remains largely unexplored.

Host Community Traits Driving Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Maintenance in Iberian Ecosystems. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick‐borne zoonosis of significant public health concern, maintained in complex multihost systems shaped by ecological, climatic, and anthropogenic drivers. In the Iberian Peninsula, changing land‐use patterns and biodiversity loss may be reshaping host communities in ways that alter local transmission ...

Assessment of Butchers' Awareness, Attitude, and Occupational Practices Toward Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Kabul, Afghanistan: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral disease with a fatality rate up to 40%, transmitted through tick bites and infected livestock. Afghanistan's livestock farming and limited public health infrastructure increase infection risks.
