Abstract
⺠Kyasanur forest disease (KFD), caused by a tick-borne flavivirus, is seen in a limited area of India. ⺠The disease affects both wild primates and humans living near forested areas. ⺠KFD is characterized by hemorrhagic fever, with a case fatality rate in the range of 1-3%. ⺠Viruses related to KFDV have been identified in China and Saudi Arabia. ⺠A formalin-inactivated vaccine is in use, but no effective therapies have been identified.
