Genetic evidence of regional circulation of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in ixodid ticks from southern Kazakhstan
Phylogenetic analysis based on partial S and L segments revealed that the Kazakhstani isolates clustered within Asia-1 and Asia-2 genotypes and shared high sequence identity with regional strains from Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and China, supporting transboundary virus circulation. These findings provide additional molecular evidence of localized CCHFV activity in livestock-associated ticks in southern Kazakhstan, expanding current knowledge on the virus's geographic distribution and genetic diversity.
