CCHFV CT Values and RNA Copy Numbers from Clinical and Tick Samples

CT values and RNA copy numbers are provided for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) samples, including clinical specimens and tick samples. The dataset, created by Jake D’Addiego, is a small 9.5 KB Excel file last updated in April 2026. Samples were collected from patients with reported contact to a specific case (C18).

Use Cases

• Correlate CT values with RNA copy numbers to calibrate qPCR assays for CCHFV detection.
• Compare viral load metrics between human clinical samples and tick samples to study transmission.
• Analyze the range of CT values from patients linked to a specific contact case (C18) for outbreak investigation.

Strengths

• Includes paired CT value and RNA copy number data for direct assay correlation.
• Contains data from both human clinical and arthropod vector (tick) samples for comparative analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for flexible reuse.

Limitations

• Very small dataset at only 9.5 KB, offering limited statistical power.
• Sample provenance is restricted to patients with contact to a single case (C18), limiting generalizability.
• Unknown row count and specific column structure due to lack of metadata.
