Full TextAbstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is one of the most widely distributed viral hemorrhagic fevers occurring in Africa, the middle East, Asia and some parts of Europe1. CCHFV is generally transmitted between ticks and vertebrates by bites or by contact2. An infected tick remains infected throughout its life and transmits the infection to large vertebrates3. Livestock play a role in the amplification of the virus because the animals become viremic for seven days4. During the last decade, Turkey, osnia, and especially Iran still have the most frequent outbreaks of CCHF worldwide, with continued reports in the 21st century5. This study was performed to evaluate the status of CCHF in the camels of Khorasan provinces
