Hämorrhagisches Krim-Kongo-Fieber – in Europa? 🦠 - Webinar

The online event “Hämorrhagisches Krim-Kongo-Fieber – in Europa?” 🦠 will take place on 20 May 2026, from 15:00 to 16:30 (Webex).

Organized by experts from the STAKOB network at the Robert Koch Institute, the session focuses on the clinical management of diseases caused by rare, emerging, or highly pathogenic agents. It highlights how globalization and climate change are contributing to the spread of disease vectors such as Hyalomma ticks, which can transmit the Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus to humans and animals.

The discussion will address the risks of CCHF, a severe zoonotic disease that can also be transmitted from person to person and is associated with a high fatality rate. Emphasis will be placed on early recognition, diagnosis, and appropriate clinical response in a European context 🌍.

The session is led by Dr. Agata Mikolajewska from the Robert Koch Institute. Participation is free of charge, held online via Webex, and continuing medical education credits can be applied for.
