Lack of Evidence for Crimean–Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Ticks Collected from Animals, Corsica, France
Résumé
In Corsica, France, 9.1% of livestock serum samples collected during 2014-2016 were found to have antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCH-FV), an emerging tickborne zoonotic disease. We tested 8,051 ticks for CCHFV RNA and Nairovirus RNA. The results indicate that Corsica is not a hotspot for CCHFV.
