Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) is a tick-borne viral haemorrhagic fever endemic to South-western part of India.[1] The disease is caused by a virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae. KFDV is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected hard ticks (Haemaphysalis spinigera) which act as a reservoir of KFDV.
