Gain-of-Function Deadly Virus Spreading Across Europe – Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF)

Sharing is Caring!

Britain has been warned it could face another Covid-style lockdown when a new killer virus sweeping Europe reaches the UK.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) – which kills between 10–40% of people infected – has been identified as a major threat to public health.

The World Health Organisation says the virus – which kills 500 people every year – is mainly transmitted to people from ticks and livestock animals.

But human-to-human transmission can occur and the disease, which is endemic and has recently killed people in Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East and Asia, is now sweeping through Europe with up to three billion people now ‘at risk’.

New cases of a deadly virus spread by ticks are emerging across with the world, including in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

An urgent health warning has been issued in what has been described as the current biggest threat to public health – which could be being accelerated by climate change.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) has recently broken out in Iraq and Namibia.

Meanwhile, Pakistani officials have reported two deaths.
