Evaluation of the probability of the infection of medical personnel with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in cases of introduction of the infective agent to a non-endemic territory of Russia

Virological Center of the Research Institute of Microbiology, Sergiev Posad, Moscow region, Russia

The data on the secondary cases of infection with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CHF) virus during the period of 1960 — 2002 have been analyzed and the probability of the infection of medical perso

el with this virus has been evaluated. The data obtained in this study may be used in the development of the mathematical model of CHF epidemics (outbreaks), taking into account not only the transmission of the infective agent, but also hospital infection, as well as for calculating the number medical perso

el, necessary for the liquidation of CHF epidemics (outbreaks).
