Genomic characterization of <i>Orthonairovirus haemorrhagiae</i> (Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus) outbreak in North Macedonia
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a significant tick-borne virus causing severe hemorrhagic disease with high fatality rate. This report presents the genomic characterization of CCHFV strain from North Macedonia's first outbreak in over 50 years, emphasizing the importance of genomic surveillance in tracking virus evolution and spread patterns in this region.
