Bushmeat Consumption and the Risk of Zoonotic Tick‐Borne Pathogen Infections in Ghana: An Increasing Risk to Public Health

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
• Consuming bushmeat comes with the risk of zoonotic tick‐borne pathogen infection. • To protect public health, there is a need for regulations on bushmeat handling and sales, frequent surveillance, and increased education. ABSTRACT Consuming bushmeat is a widely accepted tradition in Ghana and other West African countries, where it is a vital source ...

Genetic tracking of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic orthonairovirus in Hyalomma population infesting cattle in Nigeria.

PLoS ONE
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a Biosafety level 4 pathogen transmitted by ticks, causes severe haemorrhagic diseases in humans but remains clinically silent in animals. Over the past forty years, Nigeria lacks comprehensive genetic data

Epidemiologic Survey of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Suids, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We conducted a cross-sectional study in wild boar and extensively managed Iberian pig populations in a hotspot area of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in Spain. We tested for antibodies against CCHFV by using 2 ELISAs in parallel.

Harnessing the Potential of mRNA Vaccines Against Infectious Diseases

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2025.
RNA vaccines are promising because of their flexible design, strong immunogenicity, safety and rapid development. Recent advances have enabled mRNA vaccines to target various pathogens, including viruses such as influenza and HIV, bacteria such as Mycobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and parasites such as those causing malaria.

Lymphopenia: An early indicator of Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 831-837, August 2025.
Abstract Objectives Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever is a lethal tick‐borne disease characterised by initially nonspecific symptoms. While thrombocytopenia and leucopenia are established diagnostic markers, there is a need for earlier indicators. This study evaluates lymphopenia as a marker for Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever.

Seromolecular survey and risk factor analysis of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever orthonairovirus in occupationally exposed herdsmen and unexposed febrile patients in Kwara State, Nigeria.

PLoS ONE
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a globally significant tick-borne zoonotic pathogen that causes fatal haemorrhagic disease in humans. Despite constituting an ongoing public health threat, limited research exists on the presence of CCHFV
