“…The presence of antibodies against the virus has been described in several wild species like African primates, lagomorphs, bats, African wild carnivores, giraffes, buffaloes, and domestic species (horses, donkeys, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, and dogs) without causing overt disease (Spengler et al., 2016 ). Ixodidae ticks are known to be the reservoirs, in which CCHFV is maintained by vertical and horizontal transmission (Reynard et al., 2021 ). Ticks of Ixodidae family mainly Hyalomma are known to be the reservoirs and vectors of CCHFV but other species from Amblyomma, Boophilus, Deermacentor , Haemaphysalis , and Rhipicephalus have been described as harbours of CCHFV (Nasirian, 2022 ).…”
