Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the resurgence of Oropouche fever in Brazil from 2023 to 2024, focusing on virological factors influencing the outbreak after decades of sporadic cases.
  • Researchers gathered data from various sources, analyzed serum samples from patients and previously infected individuals, and performed molecular tests to understand the virus's characteristics and behavior.
  • The findings showed an extraordinary spike in cases in 2024, with over 8,600 confirmed incidents, highlighting the virus's widespread distribution across all regions of Brazil.

Oropouche Virus (OROV; genus of Orthobunyavirus) is the causal agent of Oropouche Fever (OF). Due to the lack of specific signs and symptoms and the limited availability of diagnostic tests, the actual epidemiology of OROV infections and OF has been extensively disputed. In this systematic review with meta-analysis, a literature search was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and MedRxiv in order to retrieve relevant articles on the documented occurrence of OROV infections.

Replication Kinetics of a Candidate Live-Attenuated Vaccine for Cache Valley Virus in .

Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis

November 2022

Department of Diagnostic Medicine/Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, USA.

The emergence or re-emergence of several orthobunyaviruses (order: ; family: ), including Cache Valley virus (CVV) and Oropouche virus, warrants the development and evaluation of candidate live-attenuated vaccines (LAVs). Ideally, these vaccines would elicit long-lasting immunity with one single immunization. Since the deletion of two virulence factors, NSs and NSm, has been shown to attenuate the virulence phenotype of orthobunyaviruses, phleboviruses, and nairoviruses, genetic manipulation of the viral genome is considered an effective strategy for the rational design of candidate LAVs for bunyaviruses across multiple families.
