چکیده
|
It is the first time that crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv),causing potentially lethal disease of humans,has been reported from the middle east region and from the tortoise tick hyalomma aegyptium from a tortoise host,whose epidemiological significance may have remained almost completely overlooked so far. we used rt-pcr to screen for 245 ticks collected from 38 testudo graeca tortoise individuals. results of our genetic screening provide unambiguous evidence of occurrence of cchfv in this region and host,suggesting a potentially important role of h. aegyptium in cchf epidemiology. © 2014 široký et al.; licensee biomed central ltd.
