Oropouche fever is caused by Oropouche virus (OROV), transmitted primarily through the bite of infected midges, particularly of the genus . The virus is mainly circulating in Central and South America where several countries reported an ongoing outbreak. We report here two imported cases of OROV infection identified in Italy, late May-early June 2024. These cases indicate that in the shadow of a massive dengue outbreak in the Americas, the Oropouche outbreak might be more widespread than previously estimated.
奥罗普切热是由奥罗普切病毒(OROV)引起的,主要通过受感染的蠓叮咬传播,特别是属。该病毒主要在中美洲和南美洲传播,有几个国家报告了正在发生的疫情。我们在此报告 2024 年 5 月下旬至 6 月初在意大利发现的两例输入性 OROV 感染病例。这些病例表明,在美洲大规模登革热疫情的阴影下,奥罗普切热的爆发可能比此前估计的更为广泛。
