Genetic variability of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in Russia and Central Asia.

Hyalomma marginatum ticks (449 pools, 4787 ticks in total) collected in European Russia and Dermacentor niveus ticks (100 pools, 1100 ticks in total) collected in Kazakhstan were screened by ELISA for the presence of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). Virus antigen was found in 10.2 and 3.0 % of the pools, respectively. RT-PCR was used to recover partial sequences of the CCHFV smal...

Genetic analysis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Russia.

Genetic analysis of wild-type Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus strains recovered in the European part of Russia was performed. Reverse transcriptase PCR followed by direct sequencing was used to recover partial sequences of the CCHF virus medium (M) genome segment (M segment) from four pools of Hyalomma marginatum ticks and six human patients. Phylogenetic analysis of the M-segment ...

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is one of the most widespread arboviroses in the world. It is present in Africa, south-east Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It is caused by a nairovirus (Bunyaviridae family) transmitted by several species of ticks. The geographical distribution of the disease coincides with the distribution of Hyalomma ticks. While infected livestock do not show signs ...

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever

C rimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic, vector-borne disease caused by a virus in the Bunyaviridae family, of the genus Nairovirus. This disease affects humans and animals very differently. In humans, CCHF can vary from asymptomatic infection to severe haemorrhagic fever, with death occurring in up to 30% of severely ill patients. Many other species of mammals and some birds can...
