Abstract: | Migratory birds have been known to be passive carriers of arthropod vectors of various pathogens. A study to assess the potential role of migratory birds, which are tick-carriers, as a possible route to spread the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) into Europe was initiated in 2017 by the Italian Ministry of Health. Ticks were collected from birds during seasonal bird ringing activities in Mediterranean islands known to be stop-over sites for migratory birds from Africa or from East Europe and Turkey. |
