The Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus is a tick-borne virus that can spread from infected people and other animals, including cattle and ticks of the Hyalomma genus. People who are infected describe symptoms that range from flu-like manifestations to severe multi-organ failure. With a death rate between 10% and 30%, the virus is undoubtedly a disease of high concern. With 10,000-15,000 cases/y, it is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, and South-Eastern Europe. There has been a recent CCHF outbreak in Iraq, with 212 cases documented, 80% of which were reported between April and May and led to 27 fatalities.
克里米亚-刚果出血热(CCHF)病毒是一种蜱媒病毒,可在人与人之间以及受感染的动物(包括牛和属的蜱)之间传播。感染该病毒的人会出现从流感样症状到严重多器官衰竭的各种症状。该病毒的死亡率在 10%至 30%之间,无疑是一种严重关注的疾病。该病在亚洲、非洲和东南欧部分地区流行,每年报告病例数为 10000-15000 例。最近在伊拉克发生了一起 CCHF 暴发疫情,记录了 212 例病例,其中 80%报告病例发生在 4 月至 5 月,导致 27 人死亡。
