title: Identification and analysis of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus from human sera in Tajikistan
abstract: CCHF is an important vector-borne and nosocomial pathogen in Tajikistan. The ability to rapidly detect cases using real-time RT-PCR shortly after admission in the hospital setting allows prompt implementation of barrier nursing techniques, therefore reducing onward transmission of the virus.
