在沙特阿拉伯，使用反向被动血凝抑制试验，对吉达海港的进口牲畜以及在农场和检疫站与进口动物有过接触的人的血清进行了克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒抗体调查。人3/354（0.8%）、绵羊88/2162（4.1%）、山羊14/432（3.2%）、牛1/182（0.6%）检出抗体。骆驼和马血清呈阴性。苏丹小反刍动物血清阳性率最高，这强烈表明该病毒是从苏丹传入沙特阿拉伯的。与进口动物接触并不是病毒传播给人类的明显危险因素。
A survey of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus antibody, using the reversed passive haemagglutination inhibition test, was carried out in Saudi Arabia on sera from imported livestock at Jeddah seaport, as well as humans who had contact with imported animals on farms and in quarantine stations. Antibodies were detected in 3/354 (0.8%) humans, 88/2162 (4.1%) sheep, 14/432 (3.2%) goats and 1/182 (0.6%) cattle. Camel and horse sera were negative. The Sudanese small ruminants had the highest seropositivity rate, strongly suggesting that the virus was introduced from Sudan into Saudi Arabia. Contact with imported animals was not an apparent risk factor for virus transmission to humans.
