Abstract

Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral infection caused by a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus), a negative sense, single-stranded RNA virus in the family Bunyaviridae. A serological survey conducted on 173 camel sera from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Pakistan, and Kazakhstan showed a high CCHF serological prevalence of 94.2%.
