Abstract
To estimate the determinants of spatial variation in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) transmission and to create a risk map as a preventive public health tool, we designed a survey of small domestic ruminants in Andalusia, Spain. To assess CCHFV exposure spatial distribution, we analyzed serum from 2,440 sheep and goats by using a double-antigen ELISA and modeled exposure probability with environmental predictors by using generalized linear mixed models. CCHFV antibodies detected in 84 samples confirmed low CCHFV prevalence in small domestic ruminants in the region. The best-fitted statistical model indicated that the most significant predictors of virus exposure risk were cattle/horse density and the normalized difference vegetation index. Model validation showed 99.7% specificity and 10.2% sensitivity for identifying CCHFV circulation areas. To map CCHFV exposure risk, we projected the model at a 1 × 1-km spatial resolution. Our study provides insight into CCHFV ecology that is useful for preventing virus transmission.

Abstract
Nairoviridae is a family for negative-sense RNA viruses with genomes of about 17.2-21.1 kb. These viruses are maintained in and/or transmitted by arthropods among birds, reptiles and mammals. Norwaviruses and orthonairoviruses can cause febrile illness in humans. Several orthonairoviruses can infect mammals, causing mild, severe and sometimes, fatal diseases. Nairovirids produce enveloped virions containing two or three single-stranded RNA segments with open reading frames that encode a nucleoprotein (N), sometimes a glycoprotein precursor (GPC), and a large (L) protein containing an RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRP) domain. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) report on the family Nairoviridae, which is available at www.ictv.global/report/nairoviridae.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant modifications of cellular RNA, where it serves various functions. m6A methylation of many viral RNA species has also been described; however, little is known about the m6A epitranscriptome of haemorrhagic fever-causing viruses like Ebola virus (EBOV). Here, we analysed the importance of the methyltransferase METTL3 for the life cycle of this virus. We found that METTL3 interacts with the EBOV nucleoprotein and the transcriptional activator VP30 to support viral RNA synthesis, and that METTL3 is recruited into EBOV inclusions bodies, where viral RNA synthesis occurs. Analysis of the m6A methylation pattern of EBOV mRNAs showed that they are methylated by METTL3. Further studies revealed that METTL3 interaction with the viral nucleoprotein, as well as its importance for RNA synthesis and protein expression, is also observed for other haemorrhagic fever viruses such as Junín virus (JUNV) and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). The negative effects on viral RNA synthesis due to loss of m6A methylation are independent of innate immune sensing, as METTL3 knockout did not affect type I interferon induction in response to viral RNA synthesis or infection. Our results suggest a novel function for m6A that is conserved among diverse haemorrhagic fever-causing viruses (i.e. EBOV, JUNV and CCHFV), making METTL3 a promising target for broadly-acting antivirals.

Abstract
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a tick-borne orthonairovirus that causes a severe, often fatal, hemorrhagic disease throughout Africa, Asia, and Southeast Europe. A wide variety of strains are circulating in the field which broadly correlate to their geographic distribution. The viral determinants of pathogenicity remain unclear, as does the contribution of strain-specific differences to pathology. Aigai virus (AIGV) is a closely related virus (formally designated CCHFV genotype VI, Europe II, or AP92-like virus), which has been proposed to be less virulent than CCHFV. However, the molecular details leading to potential differences in virulence are unknown. To explore if differences exist, life cycle modeling systems, including both a minigenome and a transcriptionally competent virus-like particle assay, were developed for AIGV to allow the comparison with the CCHFV reference IbAr10200 strain. Using this approach, we could demonstrate that AIGV exhibits lower viral gene expression than the reference strain of CCHFV. Subsequent systematic exchange of viral components revealed that the L protein is responsible for the observed differences in gene expression and that the interferon (IFN) antagonistic activity of the ovarian tumor-type protease domain is not responsible for this effect. IMPORTANCE Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is the cause of severe hemorrhagic disease, which is often fatal. Present throughout Africa, Asia, and Southeast Europe, a diverse number of viral genotypes exist. However, the viral determinants of pathogenicity remain unclear. It has been proposed that the closely related Aigai virus (AIGV) may be a less virulent virus. Here, using newly developed and improved life cycle modeling systems we have examined potential differences between the CCHFV reference strain, IbAr10200, and AIGV. Using this approach, we identified lower viral gene expression driven by the AIGV viral polymerase as a major difference which may be indicative of lower virulence.

Abstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is the medically most important member of the rapidly expanding bunyaviral family Nairoviridae. Traditionally, CCHFV isolates have been assigned to six distinct genotypes. Here, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Nairoviridae Study Group outlines the reasons for the recent decision to re-classify genogroup VI (aka Europe-2 or AP-92-like) as a distinct virus, Aigai virus (AIGV).

Abstract
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) continues to cause new human cases in Iberia while its spatial distribution and ecological determinants remain unknown. The virus remains active in a silent tick-animal cycle to which animals contribute maintaining the tick populations and the virus itself. Wild ungulates, in particular red deer, are essential hosts for Hyalomma ticks in Iberia, which are the principal competent vector of CCHFV. Red deer could be an excellent model to understand the ecological determinants of CCHFV as well as to predict infection risks for humans because it is large, gregarious, abundant and the principal host for Hyalomma lusitanicum. We designed a cross-sectional study, analysed the presence of CCHFV antibodies in 1444 deer from 82 populations, and statistically modelled exposure risk with host and environmental predictors. The best-fitted statistical model was projected for peninsular Spain to map infection risks. Fifty out of 82 deer populations were seropositive, with individual population prevalence as high as 88%. The highest prevalence of exposure to CCHFV occurred in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Climate and ungulate abundance were the most influential predictors of the risk of exposure to the virus. The highest risk regions were those where H. lusitanicum is most abundant. Eight of the nine primary human cases occurred in or bordering these regions, demonstrating that the model predicts human infection risk accurately. A recent human case of CCHF occurred in northwestern Spain, a region that the model predicted as low risk, pointing out that it needs improvement to capture all determinants of the CCHFV infection risk. In this study, we have been able to identify the main ecological determinants of CCHFV, and we have also managed to create an accurate model to assess the risk of CCHFV infection.

Abstract
Members of the family Nairoviridae produce enveloped virions with three single-stranded RNA segments comprising 17.1 to 22.8 kb in total. These viruses are maintained in arthropods and transmitted by ticks to mammals or birds. Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus is tick-borne and is endemic in most of Asia, Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe whereas Nairobi sheep disease virus, which is also tick-borne, causes lethal haemorrhagic gastroenteritis in small ruminants in Africa and India. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Nairoviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/nairoviridae.

Abstract
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe human disease with mortality rates of up to 30%. The disease is widespread in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The last few years have seen disease emergence in Spain for the first time and disease re-emergence in other regions of the world after periods of inactivity. Factors, such as climate change, movement of infected ticks, animals, and changes in human activity, are likely to broaden endemic foci. There are therefore concerns that CCHF might emerge in currently nonendemic regions. The absence of approved vaccines or therapies heightens these concerns; thus Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is listed by the World Health Organization as a priority organism. However, the current sporadic nature of CCHF cases may call for targeted vaccination of risk groups as opposed to mass vaccinations. CCHF vaccine development has accelerated in recent years, partly because of the discovery of CCHF animal models. In this review, we discuss CCHF risk groups who are most likely to benefit from vaccine development, the merits and demerits of available CCHF animal models, and the various approaches which have been explored for CCHF vaccine development. Lastly, we present concluding remarks and research areas which can be further explored to enhance the available CCHFV vaccine data.

Abstract
In October 2018, the order Bunyavirales was amended by inclusion of the family Arenaviridae, abolishment of three families, creation of three new families, 19 new genera, and 14 new species, and renaming of three genera and 22 species. This article presents the updated taxonomy of the order Bunyavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
