A potentially novel reassortant of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus was detected in camels at the largest livestock market in the United Arab Emirates, with zoonotic transmission associated with dromedaries and camel ticks. Seroprevalence in cattle, sheep, and goats is minimal.
We previously detected a potentially novel reassortant of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in camels at the largest livestock market in the United Arab Emirates. A broader survey of large mammals at the site indicated zoonotic transmission is associated with dromedaries and camel ticks. Seroprevalence in cattle, sheep, and goats is minimal.
