This species is credited with spreading the virus that causes the life threatening Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

However, the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is localized to Africa, Asia and Europe.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is transmitted between many mammal species by Hyalomma truncatum, Hy.

Infections with certain Bunyaviridae, cause a number of diseases including: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus has also been detected in ticks of this type removed from migratory birds in Morocco.

A case reported in the 12th century of a hemorrhagic disease from what is now Tajikistan may have been the first known case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widespread tick-borne viral disease, a zoonosis of domestic animals and wild animals, that may affect humans.

A 40-year-old truck driver bled to death today four hours after arriving at a hospital in this frontier city, the 34th person killed by Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever here in 16 months.

The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses proposed the name Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus, but the Soviets insisted on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus.

Major tick-borne diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, relapsing fever, tularemia, tick-borne meningoencephalitis, Colorado tick fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, babesiosis, and cytauxzoonosis.

Human infections with certain Bunyaviridae, such as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, are associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality, consequently handling of these viruses must occur with a Biosafety level 4 laboratory.

Among viruses discovered and studied by Chumakov are Omsk hemorrhagic fever and Kemerovo fever viruses, hantavirus causing renal syndrome, Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus, and many others.

Ribavirin is the only known treatment for a variety of viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever, and Hantavirus infection, although data regarding these infections are scarce and the drug might be effective only in early stages.
