A Novel RT-LAMP for the Detection of Different Genotypes of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus in Patients from Spain.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially lethal tick-borne viral disease with a wide distribution. In Spain, 12 human cases of CCHF have been confirmed, with four deaths. The diagnosis of CCHF is hampered by the nonspecific symptoms, the high genetic diversity of CCHFV, and the biosafety requirements to manage the virus.
