From the Research

Kkka virüsü insan kene hayvan döngüsü, insanların kene ısırıkları veya enfekte hayvanlarla doğrudan temas yoluyla enfekte olabileceği bir döngüdür. Bu döngüde, keneler virüsün doğal taşıyıcıları ve vektörleridir. Keneler, enfekte hayvanların kanını emerek virüsü alırlar ve daha sonra başka hayvanlara veya insanlara virüsü bulaştırabilirler. İnsanlar, kene ısırıkları, enfekte hayvanların kanı veya dokuları ile temas, veya enfekte individualsın vücut sıvıları ile temas yoluyla enfekte olabilirler. Sağlık çalışanları, CCHF hastalarına uygun koruma önlemleri olmadan bakarken risk altındadırlar. Önleme, insektisitlerin kullanımı, koruyucu giysiler giyme, kene infested alanlardan kaçınma ve hayvanlar veya dokuları ile temas ederken eldiven kullanmayı içerir. Tedavi主要 olarak destekleyici olup, ağır vakalarda ribavirin kullanılabilir 1, 2. Bu döngüyü anlamak, endemic bölgelerde etkili önleme stratejileri uygulamak için önemlidir. Örneğin, kenelere karşı korunma önlemleri almak ve kene ısırıklarını önlemek, Kkka virüsü enfeksiyonu riskini azaltabilir 3, 4. Ayrıca, sağlık çalışanlarının uygun koruma önlemleri alması ve enfekte hastalara güvenli bir şekilde bakması da önemlidir 5, 2.
