Serological cross-reactivity between Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus and Nairobi sheep disease virus glycoprotein C by Maze, EA, Booth, G, Limon, G, Belij-Rammerstorfer, S, Tchakarova, SR, Alexandrov, T, Browning, C, Wilsden, G, Ludi, AB, Charleston, B, Lambe, T

“…Crucially, only one seropositive sample to NSDV Gc-specific out of a set of 224 (0.4%) showed a neutralizing capacity at the lowest serum dilution (1:8), suggesting these field sera have not been exposed to NSDV. Based on an analysis of known epitopes in NP targeted by antibodies in sheep serum, we propose that NP is less cross-reactive because dominant epitopes are highly dissimilar between CCHFV and NSDV. …”
