Abstract

We diagnosed a human case of Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in Bokidiawe (North-eastern Senegal), 2019. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolate belongs to genotype III and is closely related to a strain reported in Mauritania in 1984 and Spain in 2016. Distribution area of CCHF in Senegal is progressively increasing.

Keywords: 2019; CCHF; Genotype III; Mauritania; North-East; Senegal.

Phylogenetic tree based on partial S segment (850 bp) of CCHFV. The multiple sequence alignment was obtained by using Mafft [12] and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood method implemented in IQ-TREE [13]. 1000 replicates of the sequences data were used for the robustess. The tree include 5 genotypes as described by Lukashev et al. [11]. Bootstrap confidence cut off are shown at each node. The strain reported during this study belonging to genotype III is coloured in green and indicated by (*) sign.
