This review focuses on the complex relationship between virus, vector, and host, emphasizing the need for increased biosurveillance programs for CCHFV. The review highlights gaps in recent literature on CCHFV surveillance efforts and underscores the importance of a One-Health approach in detecting and monitoring the virus.
Purpose of Review This review is aimed at highlighting recent research and articles on the complicated relationship between virus, vector, and host and how biosurveillance at each level informs disease spread and risk. Recent Findings While human cases of CCHFV and tick identification in non-endemic areas in 2019-2020 were reported to sites such as ProMed, there is a gap in recent published literature on these and broader CCHFV surveillance efforts from the late 2010s. A review of the complex aspects of CCHFV maintenance in the environment coupled with high fatality rate and lack of vaccines and therapeutics warrants the need for a One-Health approach toward detection and increased biosurveillance programs for CCHFV.
