“…By combining the three databases, we obtained 1994 articles (Figure 1), with an average of 123 new articles per year since 2015, the last date included in the previous study. This is in line with the reported increase of publications since the massive CCHF human outbreaks in Turkey in 2002, with an average of 100 articles per year since 2011 (31).…”

Systematic Review on Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Enzootic Cycle and Factors Favoring Virus Transmission: Special Focus on France, an Apparently Free-Disease Area in Europe

Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral zoonotic disease resulting in hemorrhagic syndrome in humans. Its causative agent is naturally transmitted by ticks to non-human vertebrate hosts within an enzootic sylvatic cycle. Ticks are considered biological vectors, as well as reservoirs for CCHF virus (CCHFV), as they are able to maintain the virus for several months or even years and to transmit CCHFV to other ticks. Although animals are not symptomatic, some of them can sufficiently replicate the virus, becoming a source of infection for ticks as well as humans through direct contact with contaminated body fluids. The recent emergence of CCHF in Spain indicates that tick–human interaction rates promoting virus transmission are changing and lead to the emergence of CCHF. In other European countries such as France, the presence of one of its main tick vectors and the detection of antibodies targeting CCHFV in animals, at least in Corsica and in the absence of human cases, suggest that CCHFV could be spreading silently. In this review, we study the CCHFV epidemiological cycle as hypothesized in the French local context and select the most likely parameters that may influence virus transmission among tick vectors and non-human vertebrate hosts. For this, a total of 1,035 articles dating from 1957 to 2021 were selected for data extraction. This study made it possible to identify the tick species that seem to be the best candidate vectors of CCHFV in France, but also to highlight the importance of the abundance and composition of local host communities on vectors' infection prevalence. Regarding the presumed transmission cycle involving Hyalomma marginatum, as it might exist in France, at least in Corsica, it is assumed that tick vectors are still weakly infected and the probability of disease emergence in humans remains low. The likelihood of factors that may modify this equilibrium is discussed.

“…Bibliometric analyzes contribute to the literature in terms of giving an overview of the articles or thesis studies on the subject. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever infection was first detected in our country in a group of patients who presented with fever and petechial rash in the province of Tokat in 2002. After that, the number of cases reported in our country increased rapidly in the following years especially in 2008 and 2009 before gradually decreasing.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide perspective for those who will study Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) by a bibliographic analysis of postgraduate theses on disease. Materials and methods: The study group of the research consisted of 80 postgraduate theses written in Türkiye and indexed in the Council of Higher Education National Thesis Center database between January 1, 2000 and April 20, 2022, with the keywords 'Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever' and 'CCHF'. Content analysis and descriptive analysis (frequency analysis) methods were used together in the study. SPSS was used to analyze the study's data and create graphics. The general characteristics of the categorical groups were summarized as numbers and percentages. The theses are examined under six sub-headings: year, institution, departments, thesis level samples, research subjects, and written language. Results: Looking at the distribution by years; the largest number of theses was published between 2014 and 2017 years. Theses of 77 (96%) were written at university and three (4%) at Ankara Training and Research Hospital. Sivas Cumhuriyet University was the institution that produced the most theses (30%). The highest number of theses were at the level of specialization in medicine (45%). In the content analysis, clinical research studies (76%) were the most and only two of them were about the treatment and vaccine. The dominant writing language was Turkish (95%). Conclusion: According to the content of the theses, the number of studies on the pathogenesis and clinic of the disease draws attention, while only a few theses were written about the treatment and vaccine. The theses on CCHF, which is a health problem, especially for the people of Central Anatolia, need to be increased both in content and numerically.

“…[10] However, the disease remains endemic, mainly in the Northeastern Anatolian region of Turkey (Tokat, Amasya, Sivas, Gümühane, Yozgat, and Çorum). [11] According to a bibliometric analysis of CCHF by Dereli et al, [12] Cumhuriyet University conducted the most studies, 54 (3.6%) of the 1,480 research studies in Turkey, followed by Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital with 49 (3.3%) studies, and Karadeniz Technical University and Bozok University in third and fourth place, respectively. In our study, the provinces of Ankara, Erzurum, Istanbul, and Sivas were found to be the most frequently examined.…”

Objectives: Since the first case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) was detected in our country in 2002, the number of cases has been steadily increasing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and provide a bibliographic review of national literature studies on this endemic and life-threatening disease in our country and conduct content analysis to guide future studies. Materials and methods: In this study, an investigation was conducted using the website TR Dizin, one of our national databases. Between 1960 and 2019, the keywords 'Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever' and 'KKKA' were used to search for publications in scientific databases in the medical subject category. Only 41 research articles were included in the study out of a total of 101 that were accessed. Bibliographic analysis was carried on the studies. Results: A total of 41 publications were analyzed in this study. The most scientific articles (43.9%) were detected between 2011and 2015. Ankara, Erzurum, Istanbul, and Sivas were the most commonly studied provinces; one study was conducted in two provinces (Kırşehir and Ankara) and two studies were conducted abroad (Cyprus and Iran). The majority of the papers were retrospective studies with patient samples, written in Turkish The number of cases in the sample ranged from 8 to 1,250 cases. Five of the studies (12.2%) were conducted in the pediatric age group. The rate of publications in the Web of Science (WOS) indexed journals was 46.3%. While 21 (51.2%) of the publications were cited, 13 of them were found in the WOS index. According to content analysis of the publications, demographic characteristics, epidemiological examination (36.6%) and clinical features (31.7%) were the most investigated. Conclusion: It is critical to expand the number of CCHF studies published in our country and to establish research methodologies, particularly molecular investigation, for epidemic treatment and control.
