Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne zoonotic disease, endemic in Africa, with high case fatality rate. There no efficient treatment or licensed vaccine. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of CCHFV cattle extensive grazing systems (both pastoralism and ranching) within Maasai Mara ecosystem, Nanyuki, Ol Pejeta Conservancy Kenya. We conducted seroepidemiological sera ...

background and aims: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a fatal viral disease that occurs in approximately 30 countries. it has the most extensive geographic range among the tick-borne viruses that affect human health. cchf viruses have a tripartite rna genome consisting of large (l), medium (m) and small (s) segments. this study was undertaken to determine the genetic relationship of cc...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a viral hemorrhagic fever of the Nairovirus group that belongs to the Bunyaviridae family. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe infectious disease with a mortality rate as high as 5%, and it is characterized by fever and bleeding. CCHF first emerged in Turkey in 2002, and the prevalence of the disease has been found to be increased ...

introduction crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is an acute viral zoonotic disease, which is endemic in vast geographic areas including the middle east. the causative agent, crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv), is a nairovirus, which is mainly transmitted to human from infected hard ticks and viremic livestock. discussion given that viremic livestock are the main source of cchf ou...

background: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a severe tick-born illness caused by the cchfv. ruminant animals are the main host to ticks, and ticks are a vector of cchf. therefore, this survey was carried out in 2013 on ticks of khouzistan province, in the southwest of iran, to specify tick species parasitizing live stocks and their seasonal population dynamics. materials and methods: ...

Ticks, as vectors of several zoonotic diseases, are ranked second only to mosquitoes as vectors. The diseases spread by ticks are a major constraint to animal productivity while causing morbidity and mortality in both animals and humans. A number of tick species have been recognised since long as vectors of lethal pathogens, viz. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), Kyasanur forest d...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe, often potentially fatal disease in humans, caused by infection with CCHF virus (CCHFV) belonging to the genus Nairovirus of the Bunyaviridae family. The current approach to treatment of CCHF is based on supporting hematologic and coagulation status of the patient, with replacement of cells and factors as needed, but use of ribavirin is controv...
