A febrile man in Italy who had traveled to Cuba in July 2024 was diagnosed with Oropouche fever. Reverse transcription PCR detected prolonged shedding of Oropouche virus RNA in whole blood, serum, urine, and semen. Sixteen days after symptom onset, replication-competent virus was detected in semen, suggesting risk for sexual transmission.

Oropouche fever, a mosquito- or midge-borne emerging zoonotic disease endemic to South and Central America, manifests as a dengue-like acute febrile illness with occasional occurrences of meningitis or meningoencephalitis. The causative agent, Oropouche virus (OROV), belongs to the genus Orthobunyavirus within the family Peribunyaviridae. Its tripartite negative-sense RNA genome comprises small (S), medium (M), and large (L) segments, encoding structural N, Gn/Gc, and L proteins, respectively.
