Serologic evidence of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus exposure among livestock and farmers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Abstract

This serologic survey indicated that CCHFV is circulating in the DRC and the southeast provinces are particularly at risk for spillover and morbidity among humans. Though no human cases have been reported since 2008, surveillance for CCHF should be considered among veterinary professional and healthcare workers.
