On Saturday (12 Sep 2015), 2 individuals were diagnosed with Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in Peshawar. One of the patients is from Peshawar, and the other is from Kohat.
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. CCHF can also be transmitted by contact with the blood of an infected animal. Avoidance of tick bites is essential in risk areas.
