EIDSS Application for CCHF Foci Activity Epi-Analysis and Prediction in Kazakhstan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction CCHF foci are reported in 3 southern regions of Kazakhstan with population of 1 million. The ixodic ticks in the area are CCHF carriers. Human infections (3 to 12 cases per year) occur through tick bites and contact with CCHF patient blood. CCHF epidemiological process in Kazakhstan has prominent seasonality (spring-summer period) and the rhythm of epidemic appearances (5-6-years). The rhythmical population incidence rate is associated with natural and climate factors, which govern the increase in the number of ixodic ticks, their infection rate (virus carrier state), and directly correlates with the population density and the livestock number that are the principal tick feeders in nature.

We evaluated Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) surveillance data from southern Kazakhstan during 2009-2010 and found both spatial and temporal association between reported tick bites and CCHF cases. Public health measures should center on preventing tick bites, increasing awareness of CCHF signs and symptoms, and adopting hospital infection control practices.
