results primary, secondary, and 3d structure of cchfv gn were obtained and pcr reaction with m13 forward and reverse primers confirmed the generation of recombinant bacmid dna harboring gn coding region under polyhedron promoter. conclusions characterization of the detailed structure of cchfv gn by bioinformatics software provides the basis for development of new experiments and construction of...

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...

To confirm the presence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Sudan, we tested serum of 8 patients with hemorrhagic fever in a rural hospital in 2008. Reverse transcription-PCR identified Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus. Its identification as group III lineage indicated links to virus strains from South Africa, Mauritania, and Nigeria.
