“…This particular study concluded that inadequate knowledge about the prevention of CCHFV infection may increase the cases of CCHF in humans. Another study in Iran also concluded the same aspect that the case fatality of CCHFV is higher in those butchers and animal linked personnel who have insufficient knowledge regarding the prevention of CCHFV infection (Sharifinia et al, 2013).…”

“…These protective measures are important in butcheries and slaughterhouses and can even prove useful in preventing the transmission of the disease to veterinarians and cooks. Studies in Ilam and Mazandaran provinces in Iran have reported that 75.3 and 73.8% of respondents do not use protective covers while having contact with livestock or cleaning their platform [ 17 , 18 ]. Likewise, research has revealed that 38% of CCHF positive cases in Khorasan Province and 5.9% of CCHF positive cases in Qom Province have mentioned that they have had contact with the blood or carcass of the livestock or have eaten their raw liver [ 5 , 19 ].…”

Background Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is highly fatal to humans and an acute viral disease. The CCHF disease has been reported in occupations such as butchers, slaughterhouse butchers and workers. The aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of CCHF related high risk behaviors among butchers and determine the effects of perceived self-efficacy of the participants on their membership in latent classes. Methods The participants of this cross-sectional study were recruited from all the meat distribution centers in Ardabil Province in 2019–2020. The LCA approach was used to observe the CCFH related high risk behaviors patterns. Results The statistical significance level was assigned at P-value < 0.05 in all the analyses. Three latent classes were identified; namely, 1) low risk (16.1%), 2) high risk (53.6%), and 3) very high risk (30.2%). After adjusting for other possible confounders higher score of perceived self-efficacy significantly decrease the odds of membership in high risk class (OR = 0.74) and very high risk class (OR = 0.62) compared to the low risk class. Also, age (OR = 1.07) and experience (OR = 0.91) associate with very high risk class. Conclusions This study revealed the co-occurrence of CCHF related high risk behaviors in the majority of workers in the livestock and meat industry. It is necessary to provide butchers and slaughterhouse workers with general education, force them to use protective equipment and investigate the rate of tick bites in risky occupations.

“…Perhaps reminding participants of their clinical experience by switching the order of these questions may have avoided this discrepancy. The gaps in knowledge regarding tick biology and TBD epidemiology we identified mirrored other veterinary surveys from U.S. and abroad [ 5 , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] ]. Whether these gaps are the result of a limited veterinary curriculum or continuing education is unclear and warrants further investigation.…”
