To assess the prevalence of CCHF virus infection in Oman, a convenience sample of imported and domestic animals from farms, abattoirs and livestock markets was examined by enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to CCHF virus. Ticks were collected from selected animals, identified, pooled by species, host and location and tested for evidence of infection with CCHF virus by antigen\u2010capture ELISA. Serum samples from individuals working in animal and nonanimal contact\u2010related jobs were also tested for CCHF antibodies. Serological evidence of infection was noted in 108 (22%) of 489 animals. Most of the ticks collected (618 of 912) from all species of sampled livestock were<jats:italic>Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum<\/jats:italic>, a competent vector and reservoir of CCHF virus. 243 tick pools were tested for CCHF antigen, and 19 pools were positive. Of the individuals working in animal contact\u2010related jobs, 73 (30.3%) of 241 non\u2010Omani citizens and only 1 (2.4%) of 41 Omani citizens were CCHF antibody\u2010positive.
