Abstract
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic disease associated with its principal tick
vector, Hyalomma spp. with increasing fatal incidence worldwide. Accordingly, CCHF is a World
Health Organization-prioritized disease with the absence of effective preventive interventions and
approved vaccines or effective treatments. This perspective raised from a multidisciplinary gap
analysis considering a One Health approach beneficial for human and animal health and the
environment exploring international collaborations, gaps and recommendations.
Description
The paper is the output of the working group on countermeasures at the multidisciplinary CCHF gap analysis workshop organized by CRDF Global (https://www.crdfglobal.org), USDA NBAF (https://www.usda.gov/nbaf) and CIRAD (https://www.cirad.fr/en) at Montpellier, France, on November 28–30, 2023, funded by USDA and CIRAD.
