The emergence of the Oropouche virus, also known as 'sloth fever,' poses a new health threat, particularly as cases have been detected in travelers from Florida.
Health officials warn that about 60% of those infected with Oropouche virus show symptoms such as fever and body aches, while severe cases may lead to meningitis.
With no vaccines available against Oropouche virus and minimal testing options, authorities advise high-risk groups to avoid travel to affected regions like Brazil and Cuba.
The first two deaths linked to the Oropouche virus were recorded in Brazil, raising alarm over its potential impact, especially among pregnant women.
