Conclusion:
The study highlights the high prevalence of CCHFV in domestic animals in
Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh and the humans are at risk. Though, the region
has encountered many arbo-viral outbreaks in humans, but to avoid CCHF
outbreaks in near future, it is recommended to enhance public health
awareness for livestock owners, slaughter house workers to follow strict
hygienic measures when handling livestock or its products. Further,
increasing diagnostic infrastructure and awareness among
physicians/health care workers to screen arbo-viral patients showing
compatible clinical presentations with those of CCHFV. In addition,
management of hyalomma ticks under the threshold by using an integrated
management system and education in this tribal dominated region may help
in early intervention and preparedness between animal-human interfaces.
