“…The vectors of CCHF are usually hard ticks with the genus Hyalomma marginatum as the main vectors [ 5 , 6 ]. One way to avoid and control the disease is to use insecticides and safe repellents [ 7 , 8 ]. The majority of the infected patients are farmers, veterinarians, hospital staff and slaughterhouse butchers and workers [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is highly fatal to humans and an acute viral disease. The CCHF disease has been reported in occupations such as butchers, slaughterhouse butchers and workers. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of CCHF related high risk behaviors among butchers and determine the effects of perceived self-efficacy of the participants on their membership in latent classes. Methods The participants of this cross-sectional study were recruited from all the meat distribution centers in Ardabil Province in 2019–2020. The LCA approach was used to observe the CCFH related high risk behaviors patterns. Results The statistical significance level was assigned at P-value < 0.05 in all the analyses. Three latent classes were identified; namely, 1) low risk (16.1%), 2) high risk (53.6%), and 3) very high risk (30.2%). After adjusting for other possible confounders higher score of perceived self-efficacy significantly decrease the odds of membership in high risk class (OR = 0.74) and very high risk class (OR = 0.62) compared to the low risk class. Also, age (OR = 1.07) and experience (OR = 0.91) associate with very high risk class. Conclusions This study revealed the co-occurrence of CCHF related high risk behaviors in the majority of workers in the livestock and meat industry. It is necessary to provide butchers and slaughterhouse workers with general education, force them to use protective equipment and investigate the rate of tick bites in risky occupations.

The First Outbreak of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Disease in Northwest of Iran

Purpose Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever which is transmitted by tick bites, or through contact with infected animal tissues or secretions during and immediately post slaughter. It can be responsible for severe outbreaks in humans. Methods We have explained 10 patients of CCHF, which was acquired during the first outbreak in northwest of Iran. All 10 patients were admitted to our hospital and all were treated promptly by ribavirin. Results In this outbreak, 51 blood samples were collected from suspected patients and sent to Pasteur Institute of Iran for additional assessments. CCHF was confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 19.60% of patients. Conclusion High movement of livestock and vectors in spring and summer seasons is one of the major causes of virus circulation in northwestern Iran.

“…The highest incidence of the disease has been reported in spring and summer, especially in July due to the activity of the vector ticks, and the lowest incidence has been reported in autumn [18]. Based on standard health protocols, repulsive substances and safe acaricides are used [19,20]. Observing health regulations and exhibiting healthy behaviors result from proper education and awareness and can prevent CCHF [19].…”

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute, feverous disease that is caused by tick bites or humans’ direct contact with the blood and tissues of infected livestock and humans. The transmission of the disease is also possible via human-to-human contacts and nosocomial transmission is well described. The majority of patients suffering from this disease are slaughterhouse workers (including butchers), farmers, veterinarians and hospital staff. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the health behaviors of butchers regarding CCHF and study factors affecting such behaviors based on the health belief model.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 500 butchers in Ardabil Province in 2020 by a multistage sampling method. The participants of the study completed the researcher-made questionnaire of health belief model and health behaviors model relevant to CCHF. The collected data were then analyzed by descriptive statistical tests and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean (SD) age of the participants was 44.4 (10.5) years, and 96% were males. Only 11.1% of the participants displayed acceptable disease-preventive behaviors. The validity and reliability of the developed questionnaire were confirmed. The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the constructs of the model explained 84% of the total variance. The results of the study revealed that among the variables of the health belief model, perceived susceptibility (p-value = 0.006, β = 0.152) and perceived barriers (p-value = 0.023, β = 0.14) were the strongest factors predicting disease-preventive behaviors regarding CCHF.Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the health belief model can predict preventive behaviors for CCHF. Therefore, designing and executing interventions based on the results of this study may encourage such preventive behaviors in butchers.
