Description

Oropouche fever (OF) is a disease caused by an arbovirus (virus transmitted by arthropods) of the genus Orthobunyavirus, from the family Peribunyaviridae. The Orthobunyavirus oropoucheense (OROV) was first isolated in Brazil in 1960, from a blood sample of a sloth (Bradypus tridactylus) captured during the construction of the Belém-Brasília highway. Since then, isolated cases and outbreaks have been reported in Brazil, mainly in the states of the Amazon region. Cases and outbreaks have also been reported in other countries of Central and South America.(Panamá, Argentina, Bolívia, Equador, Peru e Venezuela).Oropouche Fever.  Ministério da Saúde do Brasil
