Abstract Before this report, 7 autochthonous human cases of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever had been reported in Spain, all occurring since 2016. We describe the retrospective identification an eighth case dating back to 2013. This study highlights that earliest emerging disease are often difficult recognize.

in Mexico (6) and the United States (7). In the United States, several pregnant women died, and the hospitalization rate for pregnant women was 4× higher than for the general population (8). Despite a fairly high birth rate on Reunion Island (19 births/1,000 population), our small series does not support these fi ndings. During the epidemic (July 20– September 20, 2009), acute respiratory infec...

Abstract We conducted a serosurvey for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in various wildlife species Catalonia, northeastern Spain. detected high seroprevalence southern close to the Ebro Delta wetland, key stopover birds migrating from Africa. Our findings could indicate that competent vectors are present region.
