As part of ongoing arbovirus surveillance, we screened ticks obtained from livestock in northeastern Kenya in 2008 to assess the risk for human exposure to tick-borne viruses. Of 1,144 pools of 8,600 Hyalomma spp. ticks screened for Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus by reverse transcription PCR, 23 pools were infected, demonstrating a potential for human exposure.
作为正在进行的虫媒病毒监测的一部分，我们对 2008 年从肯尼亚东北部的家畜身上采集的蜱进行了筛查，以评估人类接触蜱传病毒的风险。在通过逆转录聚合酶链反应对 8600 只钝缘蜱进行的 1144 个池的刚果-克里米亚出血热病毒筛查中，有 23 个池被感染，表明存在人类接触的潜在风险。
