Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a widespread disease caused by a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) of the Bunyaviridae family.

CCHF is endemic in Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East, and Asian countries south of the 50th parallel north – the geographical limit of the principal tick vector. The CCHF virus is transmitted to people either by tick bites or through contact with infected animal blood or tissues during and immediately after slaughter.

To date, the CCHF virus is considered to be one of the extremely lethal viruses with a case fatality rate of 10–40%. In severe cases, the patient had epistaxis, hematemesis, hematuria, proteinuria, and even shock.

Laboratory testing methods have virus separation, serological tests, nucleic acid testing, and so on.

The Bioperfectus Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the qualitative detection of RNA from Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus. Specimens can be obtained from human serum and plasma.
