Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Reducing an Emerging Health Threat in Tanzania
Abstract
In line with Thrust Area 6 Cooperative Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Research with Global Partners FRCWMD we propose to reduce the threat of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever by conducting the first collaborative One Health investigation of the ecology and epidemiology of CCHF virus in Tanzania. Through hypothesis driven research we will evaluate the current seroprevalence of CCHFV in people, cattle and wildlife, ecological factors (e.g. environmental disturbance) associated with CCHFV vector abundance and seroprevalence in the three groups, and risk factors associated with CCHFV incidence in human populations.
