Investigation of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome in Greece

Abstract

During a 12 month period, from April 1988 through April 1989, human serosurveys for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) were conducted in several counties of Greece. New cases of HFRS were diagnosed, the ELISA IgM capture method was applied for the early diagnoses of the disease and small mammals were trapped for Hantaan virus isolation. The study on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic Fever virus included identification of new endemic foci, animal serosurvey, collection of ticks for virus isolation, and attempts to diagnose the disease. Keywords: Disease distribution; Disease vectors; Hemorrhagic fever; Epidemiology; Rodents; CCHF; BW; Congo-Crimean; Foreign; Risk assessments; RA 1.
