Geographic Expansion of Oropouche Fever Into Non‐Endemic Regions of Brazil: Implications for Health Surveillance

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Oropouche fever is an arboviral disease caused by the Oropouche virus (OROV; Peribunyaviridae family), first identified in Brazil in 1960. This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile and spatio‐temporal dispersion of Oropouche fever cases across Brazil in 2024.
