We conducted a cross-sectional study in wild boar and extensively managed Iberian pig populations hotspot area of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) Spain. tested for antibodies against CCHFV by using 2 ELISAs parallel. assessed the presence RNA means reverse transcription quantitative PCR protocol, which detects all genotypes. A total 113 (21.8%) 518 suids sampled showed ELISA. By species, 106 (39.7%) 267 boars 7 (2.8%) 251 pigs analyzed were seropositive. Of 231 analyzed, none positive RNA. These findings indicate high exposure endemic areas confirm susceptibility reared to CCHFV, even though they may only play limited role enzootic cycle.
