Animals like cattle, goats, sheep, and hares are known to be carriers of this virus
Quetta: Quetta has reported its first death from Congo virus this year, with an 18-year-old man passing away from the disease.
The young man, a resident of Pishin, died at Fatima Jinnah General and Chest Hospital in Quetta. He was admitted to the hospital on March 29 in critical condition and was placed in isolation after being diagnosed with Congo virus. This is the first Congo virus-related death in Quetta in 2025.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) has issued warnings about the prevention and control of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). Due to the increased spread of the disease, it is crucial to stay alert and take necessary steps to stop its transmission.
CCHF is caused by a virus called Nairovirus, which is carried by ticks. Animals like cattle, goats, sheep, and hares are known to be carriers of this virus, which can be spread to humans through tick bites or by coming into contact with the blood or tissues of infected animals, especially during slaughter.
