Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) is the etiological agent of a severe hemorrhagic fever affecting Africa, Asia and southern Europe. In recent decades, climate change has led to an increase in the distribution range of this virus. Little scientific data is yet available on the interactions with its vector, the tick, or on its biology. However, the confirmed presence of human infections in Spain and positive serologies in Corsican livestock could well focus attention on this pathogen.
