“…In 1969, it was recognized that the pathogen causing the Crimean haemorrhagic fever and the Congo haemorrhagic fever were serologically indistinguishable and linkage of these two place names resulted in the current name for the disease and the virus (Casals, 1969;Whitehouse, 2004;Gao et al, 2010;WHO, 2011;Wu et al, 2013). CCHF is one of the deadly hemorrhagic fevers that are endemic in Africa, Asia, Russia, Europe, and the Middle East and being zoonotic, it is of public health concerns in many countries of the world (Mardani and Keshtkar-Jahromi, 2007;Flusin et al, 2010;Chinikar et al, 2010;Appannanavar and Mishra, 2011;Ergonul, 2012;Leblebicioglu et al, 2012;Lobermann et al, 2012;Bente et al, 2013;Oncu, 2013;Nemeth et al, 2013). The surveillance of the virus is difficult in Africa, due to limited sanitary facilities.…”
