Assessment of Butchers' Awareness, Attitude, and Occupational Practices Toward Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Kabul, Afghanistan: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral disease with a fatality rate up to 40%, transmitted through tick bites and infected livestock. Afghanistan's livestock farming and limited public health infrastructure increase infection risks.

CCHFV Seroprevalence among Hunter-Gatherers, Northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We evaluated human Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) seroprevalence in hunter-gatherer populations of northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. We tested blood from 300 participants for CCHFV antibodies; 4% were CCHFV-positive.

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 ...

Prognostic Value of Admission Glucose and Extended Lipid Profile in Patients with Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life‐threatening viral hemorrhagic fever with a highly variable clinical course. While viral and inflammatory markers determining disease severity are well defined, the impact of the host's metabolic status on CCHF severity remains largely unexplored.

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 ...

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Cattle and Ticks, Israel [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We conducted a nationwide serologic and molecular survey to elucidate the epidemiologic status of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Israel. We found serologic and molecular evidence of virus circulation in the country. Future human cases could be

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Circulation in Wild European Rabbits, Portugal, 2018−2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is considered a public health risk in southwestern Europe. We surveyed serum samples from 667 European rabbits across Portugal, a rabbit species known to host immature Hyalomma lusitanicum ticks. We found low levels

Seroprevalence of Rift Valley and Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses, Benin, 2022–2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We screened 650 febrile patients from Benin for Rift Valley fever and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses during 2022–2023. None were positive by reverse transcription PCR; 1.1% and 0.3%, respectively, had virus-specific IgG.

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Seropositivity among Dromedary Camels, Algeria, 2020–2021

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Serosurvey results for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in dromedary camels in Algeria indicate that the pathogen is circulating endemically in desertic areas, despite the hostile environment. Thus, dromedaries are suitable sentinels for
