Non-neutralizing antibody responses control acute Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus infection in naïve mice

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is the cause of a sometimes-severe viral hemorrhagic fever, CCHF. Severe cases of CCHF often have little-to-no CCHFV-specific antibody responses prior to death. However, it is unclear if the failure to mount an antibody response is th...
