Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by the CCHF virus (CCHFV), is a tick-borne zoonotic infection characterized by myalgia, high-grade fever (> 38 ℃), headache, nausea, bleeding from the body cavities, and in 10%–50% of cases, results in death (Swanepoel et al. 1989). As CCHFV belongs to the Nairoviridae family, the virus can be transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks or by contact with the tissues or blood of infected animals (Bente et al. 2013).
