Reverse Genetics for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACT The widespread geographical distribution of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus (more than 30 countries) and its ability to produce severe human disease with high mortality rates (up to 60%) make CCHF a major public health concern worldwide.

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Asia, Africa and Europe [PDF]
The global spread of ticks and various tick-borne viruses (TBVs) suggests the possibility of new tick-borne diseases emerging. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is an emerging TBV of the Nairoviridae family that causes serious disease that can be fatal in humans.

Nosocomial Outbreak of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Sudan
To confirm the presence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Sudan, we tested serum of 8 patients with hemorrhagic fever in a rural hospital in 2008. Reverse transcription–PCR identified Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus. Its identification as group

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever [PDF]
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne zoonotic infectious disease caused by the CCHF virus belonging to the genus Nairovirus of the Bunyaviridae family. Transmission occurs mainly as a result of Hyalomma m.

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

Seroconversion for infectious pathogens among UK military personnel deployed to Afghanistan, 2008-2011. [PDF]
Military personnel are at high risk of contracting vector-borne and zoonotic infections, particularly during overseas deployments, when they may be exposed to endemic or emerging infections not prevalent in their native countries.

GP38 as a vaccine target for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus
Abstract Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne virus that causes severe hemorrhagic disease in humans. There is a great need for effective vaccines and therapeutics against CCHFV for humans, as none are currently internationally approved.

Evolution of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus
The evolutionary patterns of each genome RNA segment of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus (CCHFV) were investigated. Nucleotide sequences from 40 CCHFV strains isolated during time period spanning from 1956 to 2003 were tested. It was found that there is not any global molecular clock ticking at the same rate for CCHFV strains; however a local ...
