CONCLUSIONS
Our results highlight that in 2019, the presence of the CCHFV RNA was
not detected in Rhipicephalus sp . and Dermacentor sp.ticks collected from five different sites in Tulcea county, even if the
CCHFV IgG antibodies were identified in animals from this area, during
researches undertaken in previous years.
Further studies should focus on increasing the number of collected ticks
and also in expanding the geographical area of research, correlated with
serological investigations in animals in order to accomplish a
longitudinal research for better understanding CCHFV epidemiology
throughout Romania.
