The article provides information on the 2022 outbreak of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) in Iraq, with 212 reported cases and 27 deaths. The outbreak was primarily caused by tick bites and was linked to a shortage of veterinary services during the COVID-19 pandemic and illegal slaughtering practices. The authors recommend improving veterinary services and conducting further studies on the role of local livestock and ticks in spreading the virus. The article also discusses the prevalence of CCHF in other regions, the importance of molecular diagnostics, and the need for further research and product development to combat the disease.
