Baptista C., Santos N., Vial L., Jori F.. 2025. Emerging Infectious Diseases, 31 (10) : p. 2048-2051.
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is considered a public health risk in southwestern Europe. We surveyed serum samples from 667 European rabbits across Portugal, a rabbit species known to host immature Hyalomma lusitanicum ticks. We found low levels of virus antibodies (>1%), with a localized cluster reaching 5.77% in southern populations.
