Abstract

and possibly by certain mosquito species. Oropouche virus fever does not exhibit specific clinical symptoms and is therefore often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as other arboviral diseases. Currently, there are no vaccines or antiviral treatment available; hence, disease prevention mainly focuses on vector control and personal protection measures. Understanding the comprehensive drivers influencing the emergence and spread of this disease is vital for developing effective control and prevention strategies. This infection has recently emerged as one of the most important viral diseases in Latin America and is likely to remain a considerable threat to global public health in the near future. Here, an overview of Oropouche virus, it's clinical features, and pathogenesis are presented.
