Abstract
In July 2023, a diabetic from Mauritania was diagnosed as a severe case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) at Dakar hospital, Senegal. The phylogenetic analysis revealed the new strain as a CCHF virus reassortant between Genotype â… and â…¢, closely linked to strains from Spain, Mauritania, Senegal and South Africa. Genetic variability of the virus in West Africa underscores the urgent need for enhanced surveillance in West Africa.
