Previous studies have determined that AHFV is a variant genotype of Kyasanur Forest disease virus, another biosafety level (BSL) 4 virus that causes viral hemorrhagic fever in certain regions of India (3). When first described in 1957, Kyasanur Forest disease was restricted to a much smaller area (300 square miles) in India than the actual 2,000 square miles of endemic zone (10). However, human modification to natural wildlife habitats and human behavior, such as deforestation, which causes range expansion of the tick vector for Kyasanur Forest disease in India, also create opportunities for emergence of zoonotic diseases. |
