The Federal Service for Consumer Protection and Human Welfare reported that as of 15 May (2014), 9 laboratory confirmed cases of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) were recorded in the residents of the cities of Rostov-on-don, Salsk, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, in the Dubovsky and Salsky rural districts.
CCHF is a low risk for the average traveller; it is spread by infected ticks from a reservoir usually in animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. Avoidance of tick bites is essential in risk areas.
