Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Seroprevalence in Humans and Livestock, Burkina Faso

Abdoul Kader Ilboudo's study provides linked human-animal data on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) exposure in rural Burkina Faso. The dataset includes serological results and associated factors for 717 livestock farmers and 2,295 animals (cattle, sheep, goats) from 149 households across 16 villages. It was last updated on 2026-05-04 and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling risk factors for CCHFV exposure based on livestock management practices and biosecurity behavior.
• Analyzing seroprevalence clustering within households based on the reported intra-cluster correlation rates.
• Investigating associations between ecological factors (aridity, slope) and CCHFV seropositivity in livestock.
• Comparing CCHFV exposure rates across different animal species (cattle, sheep, goats) and human populations.

Strengths

• Includes linked human and animal data from 717 farmers and 2,295 livestock, enabling paired analysis.
• Reports specific seroprevalence rates with confidence intervals (e.g., 54% in cattle, 3.1% in humans).
• Integrates field-collected data with ecological and climatic variables extracted from online databases.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain modeling tasks.
• Data reflects a specific geographic and temporal context (rural Burkina Faso), which may limit generalizability.
