Outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Kyzylorda region, Kazakhstan, March–July 2022
We found a high occupational risk for CCHF. The prevalence of CCHF in ticks in our study was 0.6%, which is consistent with regional tick surveillance data. Increased tick control measures and personal protective measures for people with occupational exposure to ticks may help reduce cases.
