A febrile man in Italy who had traveled to Cuba in July 2024 was diagnosed with Oropouche fever. Reverse transcription PCR detected prolonged shedding of Oropouche virus RNA in whole blood, serum, urine, and semen. Sixteen days after symptom onset, replication-competent virus was detected in semen, suggesting risk for sexual transmission.

The Oropouche virus (OROV) has been circulating in the Amazon region since the 1960s, with a progressive increase in outbreaks and human cases reported in Brazil and neighboring countries. In the Rio de Janeiro state, there has been a significant rise in suspected cases of arboviruses, with only 30% of laboratory tests confirming infections with dengue, Zika, or chikungunya viruses. The investigation of OROV virus circulation in the Rio de Janeiro state was initiated and confirmed in April 2024.

OROV is an arthropod-borne virus belonging to the in the Bunyavirales order, primarily transmitted by arthropods and causing oropouche fever. This article reviews the etiological characteristics, epidemiological distribution, clinical symptoms, detection methods, and prevention strategies of OROV.

Oropouche virus (OROV), an emerging arbovirus, poses a significant public health concern in tropical and subtropical regions of Latin America, as well as in other parts of the world, with imported cases reported in North America and Europe. While OROV is primarily associated with acute febrile illness, especially emerging evidence suggests it may cause neurological complications, though these remain understudied. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to estimate the prevalence of neurological manifestations in OROV infections.
