Longitudinal seroprevalence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Southern Uganda
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease endemic to many regions of Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Balkans. Caused by the CCHF virus (CCHFV), CCHF has been a recognized cause of illness in Uganda since the 1950s and

Potential entry pathways for 25 vector‐borne disease agents
Abstract This Scientific Report identifies the potential entry pathways for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) into currently free EU Member States. The diseases comprise 12 listed under the Animal Health Law (AHL) and 13 non‐listed diseases, selected using predefined eligibility criteria.

Knowledge mapping of risk mitigation measures against vector‐borne diseases
Abstract A comprehensive synthesis of current evidence on surveillance, prevention and control measures for 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) affecting animals in the EU is presented here. The assessment integrates evidence from systematic literature reviews, modelling studies, field investigations and expert judgement.

Identifying main drivers and testing control strategies for CCHFV spread
Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is an emerging zoonotic disease. The causative agent is a virus (CCHFV), mainly transmitted by ticks of the species Hyalomma marginatum in Eastern Europe and Turkey. In order to test potential scenarios for the control of pathogen spread, the basic reproduction number (R0) for CCHF was calculated.

IDENTIFICATION OF AN IMPORTANT FACTOR INVOLVED IN CCHFV INFECTION
Despite intensive research, much of the molecular pathogenesis of CCHFV is still unknown. Genome-wide screening methods (particularly CRISPR/Cas9-based screens and insertional mutagenesis in haploid cell systems) have facilitated and accelerated the identification and characterization of host genes involved in infectious diseases.

Differences in cynomolgus macaque populations used for infectious disease research
Cynomolgus macaques, a species of Old World primate native to southeastern and eastern Asia and the island of Mauritius, are one of the most important nonhuman primate models for infectious disease. Research into the population genetics of cynomolgus macaques has found significant differences between macaques native to different areas, particularly ...

In 2019, the World Health Organization declared 3 billion to be at risk of developing Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). The causative agent of this deadly infection is CCHFV. The data related to the biology and immunology of CCHFV are rather scarce.

This study developed and validated 14 polymorphic microsatellite markers to investigate the population genetics of Hyalomma rufipes, a tick species that transmits Crimean‐Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) in East Africa. Ticks collected from livestock in northern Kenya were morphologically and genetically identified, followed by genome sequencing ...
