What is the classification of the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus?

What is the biggest amino acids diversity in CCHFV linked to?

Zoonotic viruses are a major risk for the Global North.

Spillover always causes the human to get sick or transmit the pathogen to other humans.

Shedding of a virus from an infected person into the environment is not infectious.

Over 90% of all human viruses known today were known at the end of World War II.

Enzootic viral diseases refer to diseases that are not present in animals.

Spillover refers to the transmission of a pathogen from a human to an animal.

A vaccine is available for Nipah virus.

The main tests used for Nipah virus detection are RT-PCR and ELISA.

Crimea-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus is exclusively hosted by cattle.

Nipah virus infection is initially suspected based on specific signs and symptoms.

The incubation period for Crimea-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus is 7 days.

Ribavirin is a specific treatment for Crimea-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus.

The diagnosis of CCHFV is very easy due to high antibody counts in patients.

Development of an anti-tick vaccine aims to target tick saliva proteins to attract immune cells to the place of infection.

CCHF outbreaks have a case fatality rate of 40%.

Three billion people globally are at risk of infection from Nipah virus.

The biggest amino acids diversities in CCHFV are linked to geographic localization.

Zoonotic viruses can only be transmitted from animals to humans and not the other way around.

The spillover event requires the recipient cells to have the right receptors in order for the virus exchange to take place.

The closer the host is genetically to the virus source, the less likely it is to have similar cell receptors.

Rabies can be eradicated through a One Health approach involving integrated controls, vaccination campaigns, and collaboration between veterinary and medical doctors.

The Ebola virus has an incubation period ranging from 3 days to 3 weeks.

Nipah virus can be transmitted from infected bats or pigs, as well as through contaminated food or human-to-human contact.

The Nipah virus has an incubation period of 4 to 14 days.

Ebolavirus kills approximately 50% of those infected with the virus.

Ebolavirus spreads through direct contact with body fluids of infected humans or animals, or through fomite transmission.

Diagnosing the Nipah virus infection typically involves isolating the virus, detecting its RNA, or detecting antibodies against the virus in a person's blood.

The case fatality rate for Hendra virus is approximately 60%.
