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 ...

Development and Characterization of Microsatellite Genetic Markers for <i>Hyalomma rufipes</i>, a Tick Vector of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...
