Infestation rates, seasonal distribution, and genetic diversity of ixodid ticks from livestock of various origins in two markets of Yaounde, Cameroon

Francine Sado Yousseu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of ticks on livestock and humans in Cameroon. The results showed a high tick infestation rate in cattle, while it was low in small ruminants. The study also revealed a wide diversity of tick species, including some known vectors of important tick-borne diseases.

Seroepidemiology of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever among cattle in Cameroon: Implications from a One Health perspective

Lina Gonzalez Gordon et al.

Summary: This study found a high proportion of cattle with CCHFV antibodies, suggesting high levels of viral circulation in Cameroon. Factors such as transhumance, age, shrub density, and absolute humidity were associated with CCHFV seropositivity in cattle. The results highlight the need for vigilance to protect pastoral and dairy communities in the region from potential disease risks.

Seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever virus in domestic ruminants of various origins in two markets of Yaounde, Cameroon

Francine Yousseu Sado et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) in domestic ruminants in two markets in Yaounde, Cameroon. The results showed a high prevalence of RVFV in livestock, indicating the circulation of the virus in Cameroon. Further epidemiological studies are needed to understand the transmission of RVFV in the country.

Widespread exposure to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Uganda might be driven by transmission from Rhipicephalus ticks: Evidence from cross-sectional and modelling studies

Swaib A. Lule et al.

Summary: Through epidemiological and ecological studies, we found that the risk of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is widespread in Uganda and challenged the notion that Hyalomma ticks are consistently the main reservoir and vector for the virus. We proposed that Rhipicephalus may play an important role in the transmission of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Uganda due to the high frequency of infected ticks and predicted environmental suitability.

Seroepidemiology of selected transboundary animal diseases in goats in Zambia

Sara Lysholm et al.

Summary: This study investigated the seroprevalence of several transboundary pathogens in Zambian goats and found that their association with trade and border proximity was generally negligible. However, selling goats at least twice a year was identified as a potential risk factor for Brucella spp., while a larger herd size and absence of pigs were associated with higher seroprevalence of foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) and Brucella spp. respectively. Increasing age and keeping pigs in the household were also found to be associated with seroprevalence of Brucella spp. and Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in individual goats.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: a growing threat to Europe

Natalia Freitas et al.

Summary: Tick-borne infectious diseases, including Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), pose a serious threat to public health. Although CCHF had not been reported in western Europe, high seropositivity rates in wildlife and detection of multiple strains of CCHFV in ticks in Spain indicate the establishment of an enzootic cycle in some areas of southwestern Europe. Currently, there are no approved therapeutic options or vaccines for the treatment of CCHFV.

Cross-Reactive Anti-Nucleocapsid Protein Immunity against Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus and Hazara Virus in Multiple Species

Merve Kalkan-Yazici et al.

Summary: CCHFV poses a severe threat to public health, while HAZV is not pathogenic to humans and can be studied under BSL2 conditions. The cross-reactivity in anti-NP humoral immune response between HAZV and CCHFV in multiple species suggests the utility of HAZV as a surrogate model for studying CCHFV infection.

New circulation of genotype V of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus in humans from Spain

Lia Monsalve Arteaga et al.

Summary: The study found a new circulation of European genotype V CCHFV in Spain, indicating that CCHFV could be an identifiable cause of febrile illness with unknown origin in Spain. It suggests that CCHF should be suspected in patients with fever, liver damage, and/or haemorrhagic disorders, particularly in those with risk activities in the spring or summer.

Epidemiology of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Africa-Underestimated for Decades

Ahmet Irfan Temur et al.

Summary: This review analyzed the evidence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Africa, focusing on case reports, human and animal serology, and CCHF virus isolations. Countries were classified into five levels based on the level of evidence, with discussions on the need to strengthen the surveillance system for CCHF.

Risk of Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) introduction and spread in CCHF-free countries in southern and Western Europe: A semi-quantitative risk assessment

Angela Fanelli et al.

Summary: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne viral zoonotic disease caused by CCHFV. This study conducted a semi-quantitative risk assessment on the likelihood of CCHFV entry and exposure in 9 CCHF-free countries in Southern and Western Europe, finding that the majority of countries had low risk, with France and Italy having medium risk.

Detection of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in blood-fed Hyalomma ticks collected from Mauritanian livestock

A. Schulz et al.

Summary: In 2018, Hyalomma ticks collected from four different livestock herds in Mauritania tested positive for CCHFV, with a prevalence of 2.56%. The study revealed the presence of two different CCHFV lineages and highlighted the importance of tracking the actual circulation area of this virus.

Summary: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne viral disease with significant genetic diversity, as evidenced by the detection of a genetic reassortant virus in cattle and ticks in Zambia. Further epidemiologic studies and monitoring are needed to understand the risk and transmission patterns of CCHFV in the region.
