Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious human disease with short incubation period, is the most wide spread tick-borne viral infection of man. It is caused by a negative-sense RNA virus (Nairovirus genus) in the Nairoviridae family within the Bunyavirales order. The CCHF virus (CCHFV) is transmitted mainly by ticks of
Hyalomma spp. The disease is zoonotic and was first described in humans in 1940s in former Soviet Union. The disease was reported in India in 2011 with involvement of Hyalomma anatolicum ticks. Antibodies to CCHFV have been demonstrated in livestock including bovines, sheep and goat. A detailed review is being presented on CCHF including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and control measures.
Humans are infected by tick bites, contact with animal blood, and also during handling of infected/ sick animals. The infection can also be nosocomial. Biosafety and Biosecurity measures including sanitation and control of ticks would be of much help in bringing CCHF under control.
