ABSTRACT
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever [CCHF] is a severe infectious viral disease caused by a tick borne virus which can lead to fatal hemorrhagic disease in humans. It has been reported from some continents including Africa, Asia and Europe. Virus is transmitted to human mainly through tick bite, whose acquire infection from reservoirs wild and domesticated mammalians and ostriches. Currently no approved vaccine or drug is available for CCHF and prevention is mainly based on biosecurity measures. Ribavirin is the only approved drug that has been used in some countries to treat human disease, however some new studies did not prove the Ribavirin efficacy. Different strategies to design effective vaccines, have been conducted through years, from inactivated virus to nucleotide-based ones including DNA and mRNA vaccines. In this study we review of pioneering vaccine candidate platforms.
