This disease, which is related to the infamous Ebola virus, is prevalent in regions such as Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Balkans. It has occasionally been detected in southern parts of Western Europe, including Spain. Experts have consistently warned that climate change could push this disease further north into Europe, and even Britain might be vulnerable, a Daily Mail report said. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified CCHF as one of its nine priority diseases this year due to the potential threat it poses.
