Knowledge, Attitude and Practices Regarding Tick‐Borne Diseases Among Healthcare Workers in Two Hospitals in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) are significant causes of febrile illnesses in humans. Healthcare workers′ (HCWs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding ticks and TBDs may influence prognosis. This study is aimed at assessing the KAP and associated factors among HCWs regarding TBD to provide evidence to improve preventive strategies, diagnosis,

Lung Volume and Density Assessment in Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Patients: Correlations With SGS

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral disease that can cause multiorgan failure and death, yet its pulmonary involvement remains poorly understood. This retrospective study included 107 patients diagnosed with CCHF and evaluated the relationship between lung volume and density changes on computed tomography (CT) and the Severity Grading ...

Dynamic Modeling of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) Spread to Test Control Strategies

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2018
Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever is a zoonotic disease which has emerged or re-emerged recently in Eastern Europe and Turkey. The causative agent is a virus, mainly transmitted by ticks of the species Hyalomma marginatum (Koch, 1844, Ixodida, Amblyommidae).

A replicating RNA vaccine confers protection against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in cynomolgus macaquesResearch in context

EBioMedicine
Summary: Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is a tick-borne febrile illness with wide geographic distribution. In recent years the geographic range of CCHFV and its tick vector have increased, placing an increasing number of people at risk of ...

Transboundary Animal Diseases and Human Migration: A One Health Perspective on the Balkan Route

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Transboundary animal diseases (TADs), including zoonoses, can be introduced in non‐endemic areas through animal trade and uncontrolled movements during times of conflict and migration. Sheep and goat pox (SGPX) and peste des petits ruminants (PPRs) were, respectively, reported in Europe in 2018 and 2010.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Tick‐Borne Pathogens Outpaces Genetic Structuring in Anatolian Dermacentor reticulatus Populations

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...

Stable Occupancy of the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus-Encoded Deubiquitinase Blocks Viral Infection

mBio, 2019
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) infection can result in a severe hemorrhagic syndrome for which there are no antiviral interventions available to date. Certain RNA viruses, such as CCHFV, encode cysteine proteases of the ovarian tumor (OTU)

Detection of Multiple Microorganisms in Ruminant Ticks in Senegal Using High‐Throughput Microfluidic Real‐Time PCR

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks are major vectors of numerous pathogens affecting both livestock and humans. In Senegal, data on the diversity of tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) in ruminant‐associated ticks remain limited. In total, 1703 ticks were collected from goats, sheep, and cattle across three ecological zones of Senegal (Sudanian, Sahelian, and Sudano‐Sahelian).

Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Abattoir Workers in Kumasi Towards Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
Education significantly influenced risk perception (p = 0.008); overall, 52% of respondents without formal education denied the possibility of human tick‐borne infections, whereas 44% with basic education recognized this risk. Most respondents (81.5%) experienced tick bites.
