Description:

To investigate Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Europe, we conducted a seroepidemiologic survey during January-April 2009. Seroprevalence of infection was 10% in a sample from an outbreak region and increased with patient age, indicating that the virus had been previously present in Europe. We also estimated that 88% of infections were subclinical.
