© Getty Images
3 / 31 Fotos
Geographical origin
- Originally endemic to tropical regions of the Americas (particularly in the Amazon Basin), the Oropouche virus has been documented in countries such as Brazil, Peru, Panama, and the aforementioned Trinidad and Tobago. The potential for global spread has increased with growing international travel and climate change.
© Getty Images
4 / 31 Fotos
Transmission
- Oropouche virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected midges. While transmission can also occur through other arthropods, such as mosquitoes, this is less common. The virus can also be transmitted via blood transfusion or organ transplantation if the donor is infected.
© Getty Images
5 / 31 Fotos
Ecology
- The small biting midge responsible for most Oropouche infections can be found in tropical and subtropical regions. These insects breed in moist environments, such as riverbanks, marshes, and decaying vegetation.
© Getty Images
6 / 31 Fotos
Symptoms
- Oropouche fever typically presents with symptoms similar to other arboviral diseases, such as dengue fever. Patients often experience a sudden onset of high fever, joint and muscle pain, and severe headaches. In some cases, a rash may develop, along with dizziness and nausea.
© Shutterstock
7 / 31 Fotos
Duration
- The incubation period for Oropouche fever typically ranges from four to eight days after the initial bite from an infected insect. Once symptoms appear, the acute phase of the disease lasts around one week, but can be debilitating due to the severity of the symptoms.
© Shutterstock
8 / 31 Fotos
Severity
- While Oropouche fever is generally self-limiting (i.e. it resolves itself without treatment), certain cases can lead to complications, especially for people who are immunocompromised or have preexisting health conditions.
© Shutterstock
9 / 31 Fotos
Rare complications
- Rare complications of Oropouche fever include meningitis and encephalitis, which can result in long-term neurological damage. Though these severe outcomes are uncommon, they truly highlight the potential seriousness of this disease.
