“…Although CCHFV infection have been reported globally, however, most of the cases were reported from Southern and Western Asia (Blair et al, 2019). Varied level of seroprevalence observed in South Asian countries was 5.7% during 2016-17 in Pakistan (current study) and 0.5% during 2015-17 in India (Mourya et al, 2019), and in West Asian countries was 14.4% during 2012 in Turkey (Bayram et al, 2016), and 16.9% during 2011 in Iran (Mostafavi et al, 2017). Our results showed moderate level of seroprevalence in milkmen and comparatively 3 to 5 times higher in abattoir workers and animal handlers, respectively, which indicate longer length of operational activities with farm animals might increase the risks of CCHFV infection.…”

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), Q fever, and Lyme disease are endemic to southern Kazakhstan, but population-based serosurveys are lacking. We assessed risk factors and seroprevalence of these zoonoses and conducted surveys for CCHF-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan. Weighted seroprevalence for CCHF among all participants was 1.2%, increasing to 3.4% in villages with a known history of CCHF circulation. Weighted seroprevalence was 2.4% for Lyme disease and 1.3% for Q fever. We found evidence of CCHF virus circulation in areas not known to harbor the virus. We noted that activities that put persons at high risk for zoonotic or tickborne disease also were risk factors for seropositivity. However, recognition of the role of livestock in disease transmission and use of personal protective equipment when performing high-risk activities were low among participants.

“…The studies conducted in Turkey also showed high variability. Most studies showed a seroprevalence that ranged from low values (0.5% [44], 1.2% [38], 1.8% [49], 2.3% [50], and 3.7% [42]) to moderate values (9.6% [48], 10% [4], 10.9% [41], 12.8% [45], 13.6% [47], 14.4% [34], and 15.8% [37]. One study showed a much higher prevalence (19.6% [39]), but this study was performed in an endemic area in southwestern Turkey.…”

Seroprevalence of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in humans in the World Health Organization European region: A systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a Nairovirus. CCHF is a tick-borne disease that is predominantly associated with Hyalomma ticks and have a widespread distribution in Africa, Asia and Europe. CCHF usually presents as a subclinical disease, but in some cases, it may present as a hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. This systematic review of the literature was performed to identify the available evidence on the prevalence of CCHF in the European Region of the World Health Organization, based on seroprevalence (IgG antibodies). Methodology A systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement protocol. PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science were used for the search (up to January 31, 2019), combining the following MeSH terms: ["Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever" OR "Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus" OR "Congo-Crimea" OR "Crimea-Congo"] AND ["Europe"] AND ["epidemiology" OR "seroprevalence"]. The abstracts were screened. Subsequently, full-text articles were selected and reviewed based on the PICOS (Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcomes-Study type) criteria by two independent reviewers for inclusion in the final analysis.
