“…Since its first detection, many nosocomial outbreaks and sporadic cases have been investigated and confirmed in Gujarat and the adjoining Rajasthan State, including a nosocomial outbreak in Ahmadabad, Gujarat State, in 2011 (Makwana et al, 2015; Mishra et al, 2011; Mourya et al, 2012; Yadav et al, 2013a; Yadav et al, 2016, 2014). Pragya also summarized the results of various studies, including surveys in ticks and a survey of anti-CCHFV IgG antibodies in livestock (Mourya et al, 2014a,b; Mourya et al, 2015). Animal serosurveys are considered very useful in indicating virus prevalence in an area; tick studies are less indicative, as the appropriate number of ticks that must be collected to be useful and predictive is not clear (Gurav et al, 2014; Mourya et al, 2014a,b; Mourya et al, 2015; Yadav et al, 2013b).…”
