Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a life-threatening arthropod-borne virus transmitted by tick bites or contact with blood or tissues of viraemic individuals and animals. CCHFV continues its existence in a broad region with sporadic cases or outbreaks. CCHFV infection is observed frequently as an asymptomatic, but sudden severe disease characterised by haemorrhagic can occur. Diagnostic methods employ enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time reverse transcription-po
