Abstract excerpt
The Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) poses a significant public health threat. In China, CCHFV has been circulating for decades, yet the genomic diversity and pathogenic potential of the circulating strains remain poorly characterized, hindering risk assessment and countermeasure development. In this study, we recovered 24 historical CCHFV strains isolated between 1966 and 2004 from humans, ticks and...
