Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever in Humans in Uganda, 2013-2019

Stephen Balinandi et al.

Summary: This study reviewed case reports of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) patients in Uganda between 2013 and 2019 and analyzed the genome sequences of the virus. The findings indicate that CCHF cases in Uganda are most common from July to December and are located along the cattle corridor. The most common symptoms reported include fever, hemorrhage, headache, fatigue, vomiting, and myalgia.

Livestock Presence Influences the Seroprevalence of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus on Sympatric Wildlife in Kenya

Vincent Obanda et al.

Summary: The study in Kenya found that the seroprevalence of CCHFV in buffalo is significantly higher than in cattle, with the highest prevalence in closed wildlife habitats. The overlap of habitats between cattle and buffalo makes cattle a bridge species for CCHFV transmission, increasing the risk to humans.

Sporadic outbreaks of crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever in Uganda, July 2018-January 2019

Bernadette Basuta Mirembe et al.

Summary: Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever outbreaks occurred sporadically in Uganda during 2018-2019, with tick exposure identified as a major risk factor. The study recommends improved tick control in Uganda through national regulations on acaricide distribution, strategies to reduce tick resistance to acaricides, and more community-based engagement in tick control in livestock management.

Phylogenetic Characterization of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Detected in African Blue Ticks Feeding on Cattle in a Ugandan Abattoir

Eddie M. Wampande et al.

Summary: This study characterized a novel strain of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) found in African blue ticks in Uganda, belonging to the African genotype II clade. The S and L genome segments of this strain showed >90% nucleotide similarity to other genotype II strains, while the M segment displayed 80% similarity with strains from Western India and Northern China, along with numerous non-synonymous mutations. This newly sequenced strain adds to our understanding of the natural diversity of CCHFV circulating in ticks and in Africa, providing valuable information for the development of future control strategies.

Serological and molecular study of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in cattle from selected districts in Uganda

Stephen Balinandi et al.

Summary: The study revealed high prevalence of anti-CCHF antibodies in cattle from all five study districts, confirming exposure to CCHFV. Factors such as female gender, increasing age, and higher tick burden were associated with CCHFV seropositivity.

Cattle ticks and tick-borne diseases: a review of Uganda's situation

Paul D. Kasaija et al.

Summary: This review discusses the epidemiology of ticks and tick-borne diseases in Uganda, highlighting the economic impact and control efforts. East Coast fever caused by Theileria parva is the most prevalent TBD in Uganda, with other common diseases including anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and heartwater. The role of agro-ecological zones and livestock management systems in disease distribution is emphasized, along with the challenges of increasing acaricide resistance due to intensive tick control practices. Suggestions for sustainable intervention strategies such as vaccination, selective breeding, and integrated control approaches are provided for consideration.
