What to know about 'sloth fever' as U.S., Europe warn of imported cases
Briefly

The Oropouche virus, also known as sloth fever, is primarily transmitted by the Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito and can cause sudden fever and aches.
While there are 21 reported cases in the U.S. this year, including 20 in Florida, the disease poses a particular risk to pregnant women.
With the Oropouche virus, there are currently no vaccines or treatments available, and while deaths are rare, vigilance is necessary.
