Protecting people and animals from Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever in Afghanistan

Before Eid al-Adha, the sale and slaughter of millions of animals in Afghanistan heightens the risk of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious disease spread by infected ticks. As animals can carry the virus without symptoms and there are no vaccines available, prevention is crucial.

With support from the UK and the World Health Organization, FAO collaborated with Veterinary Field Units in 20 provinces to spray livestock markets, treat animals, and raise awareness among herders and traders. This initiative exemplifies the One Health approach, protecting both human and animal health.
