Book Description,
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever: A Global Perspective is the first book written which is specifically devoted to CCHF. Our aim in writing this book was to present updated information on several key aspects of the disease and the virus which causes it. CCHF is a global disease, and writing this book was truly an international effort. In total, there are 34 authors from at least 13 different countries who have contributed to this book. These authors are leading scientists in their fields and provide a global perspective on this global disease. There are six main sections in this book. Section I gives an introduction to CCHF and presents a historical background on the disease. Section II discusses the molecular biology and genetics of CCHFV.
Section III is the largest section and discusses the epidemiology and ecology of CCHF, including several chapters focusing on CCHF in individual countries. Section IV describes what is currently known about the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options for CCHF. Section V provides information on the prevention and control of CCHF. Section VI discusses potential areas for future research and includes frequently asked questions that may prove helpful to public health officials or others, who may not be experts on CCHF, but nevertheless may be required to provide information on the disease to the public. We hope that this book will shed light on this viral hemorrhagic disease and provide useful information for all the clinicians, virologists, entomologists, and public health officials who deal with this important disease
