Oropouche virus screening among acute febrile illness cases in Thailand: no evidence of circulation in arboviral-endemic regions

BMC Research Notes
Oropouche virus (OROV) causes Oropouche fever, an acute febrile illness with clinical symptoms similar to other arboviral infections. Accurate laboratory confirmation is essential to differentiate OROV from other tropical diseases and avoid inappropriate

First outbreak of Oropouche Fever reported in a non-endemic western region of the Peruvian Amazon: Molecular diagnosis and clinical characteristics

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Introduction: Oropouche fever is an under-reported and emerging infectious disease caused by Oropouche virus (OROV). Its incidence is under-estimated mainly due to clinical similarities with other endemic arboviral diseases and the lack of specific ...

Deciphering the Hantavirus Host Range Combining Virology and Species Distribution Models with an Emphasis on the Yellow Pygmy Rice Rat (Oligoryzomys flavescens)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

Comparison of surveillance trapping methods to monitor Culicoides biting midge activity in Trinidad, West Indies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 456-468, December 2022., 2022
Study on a dairy goat farm compared three static trap designs with (a) UV light; (b) incandescent light or (c) semiochemical lure (no light). Sweep netting was used to define diel periodicity. Trap designs A and C collected significantly greater number of Culicoides specimens than trap B; trap C gained highest species richness despite no significant ...

ISG20: an enigmatic antiviral RNase targeting multiple viruses

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 1096-1111, June 2022., 2022
ISG20 is a broad antiviral inhibitor and a potent RNase in vitro. However, a precise understanding of its mechanism of action is lacking. In this review, we discuss the latest developments on this fascinating innate defense factor. Interferon‐stimulated gene 20 kDa protein (ISG20) is a relatively understudied antiviral protein capable of inhibiting a ...

Evaluation of Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus Mosquitoes Competence to Oropouche virus Infection

Viruses, 2021
The emergence of new human viral pathogens and re-emergence of several diseases are of particular concern in the last decades. Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV) is an arbovirus endemic to South and Central America tropical regions, responsible to several ...

What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus? [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Here, we review the timeline of Oropouche virus (OROV) detection in various hematophagous Diptera, from 1955 to date, including mosquitoes and midges. All vector competence experiments also are described. The results suggest that Culicoides are the primary vectors.
