Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF): An Emerging Disease in Afghanistan
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) seems to be a severe viral infection that is spreading throughout Afghanistan. The first case of CCHF was recorded in March 1998 in Takhar province, located in the country’s north. And since then, multiple new cases and outbreaks have occurred over the years and continue to do so now.

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

Intracellular localization of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus glycoproteins [PDF]
Abstract Background Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus (CCHFV), a member of the genus Nairovirus, family Bunyaviridae, is a tick-borne pathogen causing severe disease in humans. To better understand the CCHFV life cycle and explore potential intervention strategies, we studied the biosynthesis and intracellular ...
