Abstract

CCHF is a tick-borne viral disease with high outbreak potential and no specific treatment or vaccine. It is transmitted via ticks or contact with infected fluids and poses significant risks to healthcare workers and livestock handlers. Prevention relies on strict infection control, public education and protective measures to reduce transmission.
