Detection of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and Rift Valley fever virus antibodies in animal workers in Cameroon
Our study confirms the presence of CCHFV and RVFV antibodies among animal workers. These viruses are likely endemic in Cameroon, despite the absence of reported clinical cases. We recommend implementing regular surveillance and preventive measures to protect at-risk populations.
