Epidemiological summary
This is the first report of the weekly seasonal surveillance reports on Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) infections in 2026.

The case in Salamanca (Spain) is not unexpected as Hyalomma spp. – the main vectors of CCHF virus – are widely distributed across the region.
In addition, CCHF virus is known to circulate in local animal populations, and human cases have previously been reported there.
