摘要

Purpose of Review

This review addresses the growing threats of tick-borne viruses (TBVs) in the Middle East. It focuses on understanding the risks to public health and agriculture caused by these viruses, identifying key pathogens such as the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), and discussing the importance of biosafety and the One Health approach in mitigating these threats.

Recent Findings

The study highlights the significant challenges faced in controlling (TBVs), including the need for adherence to strict biosafety measures (BSL3 and BSL4) in laboratories. It emphasizes integrating human, animal, and environmental health through the One Health approach and improving surveillance systems, diagnostics, and vector control programs. Regional cooperation across Middle Eastern countries is noted as a critical factor in addressing the cross-border nature of these viral threats.

Summary

The Middle East must adopt enhanced biosafety protocols and implement a One Health approach to manage TBVs effectively. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, improving surveillance, and raising public awareness, the region can build a more resilient health infrastructure to combat the spread of tick-borne viruses and protect public health and agricultural livelihoods.
