Based on data submitted up until and including 9 September 2026.
Since the beginning of 2026 and as at 9 September 2026, one country in Europe has reported locally acquired1 cases of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF): Spain (4 cases).
Compared with the update published last Friday, no additional locally acquired cases have been reported in Europe.
CCHF is a tick-borne viral disease that is emerging in Europe, with
locally acquired cases reported in several EU/EEA countries. In the
light of this development, the European Centre for Disease Prevention
and Control has implemented seasonal enhanced surveillance to monitor
the occurrence of cases in the EU/EEA. The primary objective is to
inform public health authorities and support the implementation of
appropriate response measures.
CCHF is a notifiable disease at the
EU level and cases are reported in accordance with the
EU
case definition. The table and map in this report show the countries
and areas where CCHF cases – and their corresponding case numbers – have
been reported to the European surveillance portal for infectious
diseases (EpiPulse Cases).
Please note that cases acquired in
Portuguese and Spanish Outermost Regions are included. However, due to
the distinct epidemiological situation and differences in surveillance
systems, cases acquired in the French Outermost Regions are not
included.
Here we present the report as at 9 September 2026.
