The Oropouche virus has seen a dramatic rise in cases since late 2023, leading to significant health concerns in the Americas and prompting CDC advisories.
The virus, previously confined to the Amazon, has expanded dramatically, causing over 8,000 cases across five countries, stressing the importance of monitoring its spread.
Symptoms of Sloth Fever typically manifest within a week of exposure and include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, highlighting the virus's impact.
Genetic changes may have made the Oropouche virus more potent, leading to its spread outside traditional regions and causing the first cases in Europe.
