چکیده
Oropouche fever has reemerged in Parauapebas and Porto de Moz municipalities, Pará State, Brazil. Serologic analysis (immunoglobulin M-ELISA) and virus isolation confirmed Oropouche virus (OROV) in both municipalities. Nucleotide sequencing of 2 OROV isolates from each location indicated genotypes I (Parauapebas) and II (Porto de Moz) in Brazil.

Oropouche virus (OROV) is a public health threat in South America, and in particular in northern Brazil, causing frequent outbreaks of febrile illness. Using a combination of deep sequencing and Sanger sequencing approaches, we determined the complete genome sequences of eight clinical isolates that were obtained from patient sera during an Oropouche fever outbreak in Amapa state, northern Braz...

In recent years Oropouche (ORO) virus has become one of the most significant causes of arboviral disease in Brazil (1). First isolated in Trinidad in 1955, OR0 virus had initially been considered a clinical novelty of little public health importance (2,3). Within the past several years, however, large epidemics of OR0 virus have been recorded in northern Brazil, where several thousand people ha...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Oropouche Virus, Brazil
Oropouche virus (OROV) is the causative agent of Oropouche fever, an urban febrile arboviral disease widespread in South America, with >30 epidemics reported in Brazil and other Latin American countries during 1960-2009. To describe the molecular epidemiology of OROV, we analyzed the entire N gene sequences (small RNA) of 66 strains and 35 partial Gn (medium RNA) and large RNA gene sequences. D...

This article describes and discusses factors associated to the reemergence of yellow fever and its transmission dynamics in the states of São Paulo (Southeastern Brazil) and Rio Grande do Sul (Southern) during 2008 and 2009. The following factors have played a pivotal role for the reemergence of yellow fever in these areas: large susceptible human population; high prevalence of vectors and prim...
متن کاملOropouche Fever in Brazil
During the past two decades, Oropouche (Oro) virus (arbovirus family Bunyaviridae, Simbu serological group) has been recognized as a major cause of human febrile illness in the Amazon region of Brazil. Between 1961 and 1981 numerous outbreaks occurred in urban centers of the Amazon region, mostly in the State of Pará, in the eastern part (Figure 1). At least 250,000 persons were infected, inclu...
