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...

background crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a tick-borne disease caused by arbovirus which can be transmitted to human by several routes. tick bite and living in a rural area have been the most common factors for inception of cchf in adults and children in studies reported from iran. objectives this study was conducted to detect the disease acquisition routes among children with confir...

southeast of iran is an endemic area for malaria and crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever ( cchf). in 1999, we faced with an outbreak of cchf in sistan and baluchistan province, in the border of paki­stan and afghanistan. the most cases of malaria in iran are also reported from this area. this arti­cle presents a 17-year- old woman who admitted to our hospital because of acute fever, head­ache, epis...

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...

introduction crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by infection with a tick-borne virus from the family of bunyaviridae. this viral hemorrhagic fever is found throughout central asia, southern europe, africa and the middle east. transmission to humans occurs through contact with infected animals or tick bite. the first human cases of infectious hemorrhagic f...

conclusions continuous training is necessary to improve the knowledge and awareness of the highest-risk groups with regard to the transmission modes, prevention, symptoms, and treatment of this disease. objectives this study is a retrospective descriptive survey based on data collected from the health center of khuzestan province, iran, during 1999 - 2015. patients and methods patients with sym...

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging zoonotic disease in India and requires immediate detection of infection both for preventing further transmission and for controlling the infection. The present study describes development, optimization, and evaluation of a novel molecular beacon-based real-time RT-PCR assay for rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnosis of Crimean-Congo hemorr...

conclusion we recommend that in outbreaks of cchf, care to prevent airborne transmission should be kept in mind. patient and method by a nosocomial transmission of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf), a health care worker was infected in december 2008 due to a re-emerging outbreak of cchf in fars province, iran. after admission of probable cchf cases in a local hospital, one of the nurses co...
