Abstract

Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) unexpectedly emerged in humans in Northwest Spain in 2021, and two additional cases were reported in the region in 2022. The 2021 case was associated with a tick bite on the outskirts of the city where the patient lived. PCR analysis of 95 questing ticks collected in the outskirts of that city in 2021, none of the genus Hyalomma, revealed a prevalence of confirmed CCHF virus (CCHFV) infection of 10.5%. Our results in this emerging scenario suggest the need to consider that CCHFV may be effectively spreading to Northwest Spain and to urgently understand any possible role of non-Hyalomma spp. ticks in the eco-epidemiological dynamics of CCHFV.

2021 年西班牙西北部非疟原虫蜱虫中的克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒

2021 年，西班牙西北部意外出现了克里米亚-刚果出血热病例，2022 年该地区又报告了两例病例。2021 年的病例与患者居住城市郊区的蜱虫叮咬有关。对 2021 年在该市郊区收集到的 95 只蜱虫（无蜱属）进行的 PCR 分析显示，确诊的 CCHF 病毒（CCHFV）感染率为 10.5%。我们在这种新出现的情况下得出的结果表明，有必要考虑到 CCHFV 可能正在有效地向西班牙西北部传播，并急需了解非 Hyalomma 属蜱虫在 CCHFV 生态流行病学动态中可能扮演的角色。

期刊介绍： Zoonoses and Public Health brings together veterinary and human health researchers and policy-makers by providing a venue for publishing integrated and global approaches to zoonoses and public health. The Editors will consider papers that focus on timely collaborative and multi-disciplinary research in zoonoses and public health. This journal provides rapid publication of original papers, reviews, and potential discussion papers embracing this collaborative spirit. Papers should advance the scientific knowledge of the sources, transmission, prevention and control of zoonoses and be authored by scientists with expertise in areas such as microbiology, virology, parasitology and epidemiology. Articles that incorporate recent data into new methods, applications, or approaches (e.g. statistical modeling) which enhance public health are strongly encouraged.
