Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Seroprevalence in Human and Livestock Populations, Northern Tanzania

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Apr;30(4):836-838. doi: 10.3201/eid3004.231204.ABSTRACTWe conducted a cross-sectional study of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in northern Tanzania. CCHFV seroprevalence in humans and ruminant livestock was high, as were spatial heterogeneity levels. CCHFV could represent an unrecognized human health risk in this region and should be included as a differential diagnosis for febrile illness.PMID:38526202 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.231204
