Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a viral disease with high fatality rate, is endemic in many countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. It is transmitted to humans either by tick bite or by direct contact with blood or tissues of viremic patients or livestock. Aim of the present study was to review the main epidemiological characteristics of the disease worldwide, with special attempt to show the epidemiological and behavioral factors that play a role in acquisition of the infection. It is obvious that these factors differ among countries, and the knowledge and understanding of the transmission routes in each region facilitates the implementation of proper control measures, the awareness enhancement and the prevention of the disease.
克里米亚-刚果出血热（CCHF）是一种死亡率很高的病毒性疾病，在欧洲、中东、亚洲和非洲的许多国家流行。它通过蜱叮咬或直接接触病毒血症患者或牲畜的血液或组织传播给人类。本研究旨在回顾全球疾病的主要流行病学特征，特别试图展示在感染获得过程中起作用的流行病学和行为因素。显然，这些因素在各国之间存在差异，对每个地区传播途径的了解和认识有助于实施适当的控制措施、提高认识和预防疾病。
