BACKGROUND: Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne viral disease. Increasing cases in West Africa suggest potential undetected circulation in Nigeria.
METHODS: A One Health Joint Risk Assessment was conducted to identify transmission pathways and assess the likelihood and impact of human CCHF infections at the human-animal-environment interface in Nigeria. Risk framing involved developing structured questions for potential Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever virus (CCHFV) transmission scenarios. A scoping review was conducted and median seroprevalence values were reported. The likelihood, impact and data uncertainty for human infection scenarios were used for a qualitative estimation of risk.
RESULTS: Human contact with infected livestock during farming, veterinary practices and exposure to ticks was identified as a key infection route. Most cases in Nigeria (66.7%) were identified via serology, with a median human seroprevalence of 6.1% and cattle seroprevalence of 30.2%. CCHFV has been isolated from Rhipicephalus ticks. Four risk assessment questions were defined and focused on veterinarians, abattoir workers, herders, wildlife rangers and healthcare workers. Animal-related professions had a moderate likelihood of infection.
CONCLUSION: Strengthening One Health surveillance, vector control and multisector infection prevention is crucial to reducing the risk of CCHF and averting future outbreaks.
