High Seroprevalence and Risk Factors of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Camels at Livestock Markets in Border Regions, Nigeria, 2023–2024

Abstract

The very high seroprevalence observed in camels suggests that they may contribute to the epidemiology of CCHF in northern Nigeria. Although cultural practices such as consumption of raw camel milk and urine are common, their role in CCHFV transmission remains uncertain; therefore, further studies are recommended to investigate their potential epidemiological significance. Strengthening One Health-based surveillance, vector control, and public education is critical to reducing zoonotic transmission and protecting human and animal health.
