Description
Abdoreza Amrollahi and colleagues survey, in a 2026 field study, ticks and small farm animals in Kermanshah Province in western Iran for Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, a dangerous tick-borne infection. Blood and ticks came from 302 sheep and goats across six districts chosen for past cases and regional differences, and samples were tested with a laboratory-built genetic test.
Every blood sample was negative, yet four of 604 ticks carried the virus, in two tick species. Genetic typing also found a related virus type never before reported in Iran. With a major outbreak region across the Iraqi border, the authors urge continued tick monitoring, vector control, and cross-border cooperation.
