Objective: To determine the infective status and natural distribution of Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever (XHF; Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, CCHF) in ticks, rodents and livestock in the Tarim Basin.

Methods: The pathogenic materials of ticks or rodents' viscera and blood samples of sheep were inoculated into sucking mouse of 24 to 48-hour old. Materials with typical clinic symptoms were identified with RPHA and IFA.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to analyze the distribution and structural composition of tick communities in the Tarim Basin, focusing on their diversity.
  • - Researchers collected tick samples, identified species, and utilized community ecology methods to assess richness, diversity, and evenness, leading to the classification of communities based on environmental factors.
  • - A total of 10 tick species from 5 genera were found, with Hyalomma asiaticum as the dominant species, and the tick communities were categorized into 7 types depending on geological and vegetation conditions.

Objective: To compare the molecular characteristics of 3 Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses(CCHFV) isolated in Xinjiang province.

Methods: YL05035, YT05099 and LT05146 were isolated in 2005 from Hyalomma ticks and viral RNA was extracted from suckling mouse brains infected with these three strains respectively. The polymerase chain reaction(PCR) products of S segments from the 3 strains of CCHFV were directly sequenced.
