Abstract :
Dear Editor,
Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick-borne (Ixodid ticks) viral infectious disease. CCHF is caused by RNA virus that is a member of genus Nairovirus in the family Bunyaviridae as the greatest virus family. This infection has vast geographical distribution in Asia, Africa and some parts of Europe. This agent can be transmitted to humans in several ways such as direct contact with infected body fluids and blood or ticks. Small mammals are the main hosts of the virus
