     Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a viral disease, this diseases specifically is infection diseases. CCHF virus is transmitted spread by tick bites or human to human transmission can occur through close contact with blood secretion, organs or other bodily fluids of infected persons or animals. The Crimean–Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus causes severe viral fever outbreaks. CCHF outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 40%. There is no vaccine is available either to people or animals. Hospital acquired infection can also occur due to improper sanitization of medical equipment. Farmers have high risks of this virus.

Following infection by a tick bite and the incubation period is usually one or three days and shows symptoms like sudden fever, neck pain, dizziness, stiffness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea bleeding into skin.

Diagnosis: CCHF virus infection can be diagnosed by several different laboratory tests like Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay, Antigen detection serum neutralization, Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, RT-PCR assay Virus isolation by cell culture.

Treatment: Treatment predominantly supportive Ribavirin has shown some efficiency in vitro and has been used by mouth during breaks. There is dutiful evidence to support its use and this medication can cause serious side effects including hemolytic anemia and liver damage. Both oral and intravenous formulation seems to be effective.

Prevention and control: It is so difficult to prevent or control infection in animal and ticks as the animal-tick cycle usually goes unseen and the infection in domestic animal usually not evident. The tick’s vectors are numerous and widespread, so tick control with pesticide is only a realistic option for well managed livestock production facilities Reduce risk of tick-to-human transmission and wear protective and light colored clothing to allow easy to detection of ticks on the clothes.
