This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of anti\u2010CCHFV antibodies in dromedary camels and workers at the Al Bawadi abattoir in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In addition, the camels and human subjects were screened for CCHFV RNA, and the knowledge level of abattoir workers regarding CCHF zoonosis was assessed. A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted between March 2022 and June 2023 at the Al\u2010Bawadi abattoir in Al Ain with 393 camels and 86 abattoir workers. Anti\u2010CCHFV immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody was tested in camel sera using a multispecies indirect enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The sera of abattoir workers were tested for anti\u2010CCHFV IgG antibody using a human CCHFV ELISA kit. Camel and human serum samples were tested by reverse transcription quantitative real\u2010time polymerase chain reaction (RT\u2010qPCR) to detect CCHFV RNA. A questionnaire survey was used to evaluate abattoir workers\u2019 knowledge of the risk of zoonosis of CCHF. The seroprevalence of anti\u2010CCHFV antibodies in camels slaughtered at the Al\u2010Bawadi Abattoir was 65.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 60.4%\u201370%). However, the RNA prevalence was only 1% (4\/393), with cycle threshold (Ct) values ranging from 34.58 to 38.21. The seroprevalence of anti\u2010CCHFV antibodies in abattoir workers was 29.1% (95% CI: 20.3%\u201340.4%), but none of the abattoir workers tested positive by RT\u2010qPCR. Seropositive abattoir workers had a longer duration of working in the abattoir (median\u2009=\u200910 years; interquartile range [IQR]: 6.0\u201314.0) than seronegative abattoir workers (median\u2009=\u20097.5 years; IQR: 5.0\u201314.0) although the difference was not significant (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &gt; 0.05). Most abattoir workers (73%) knew that CCHF is zoonotic. The seroprevalence of anti\u2010CCHFV antibodies was high in both camels and abattoir workers at the Al\u2010Bawadi Abattoir, and viral RNA was detected in four camels. Hence, active surveillance and reinforcement of control measures are recommended.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/tbed\/3409106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,8]],"date-time":"2025-05-08T07:35:01Z","timestamp":1746689701000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Crimean\u2013Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Infections in Slaughtered Camels and Abattoir Workers in the United Arab Emirates"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4925-2447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamud","family":"Sheek-Hussein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6087-0129","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aboma","family":"Zewude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aminu S.","family":"Abdullahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamila Al","family":"Neyadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Babiker","family":"Osman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amir Abdullah","family":"Hassen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4723-1909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hassan Zackaria Ali","family":"Ishag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abraham Nii Okai","family":"Commey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Saleh A.
