Costa Rica vigilante ante brote de más de 50 casos de Oropouche en Panamá

En agosto del 2024, la viróloga del Centro de Investigación en Enfermedades Tropicales (CIET) y de la Facultad de Microbiología de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR), Eugenia Corrales, señaló que el país tiene las condiciones idóneas para alojar este virus y generar una cadena de transmisión con algún animal reservorio.

Co-Circulation of 2 #Oropouche Virus #Lineages, #Amazon Basin, #Colombia, 2024

Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, AbstractIn early 2024, explosive outbreaks of Oropouche virus (OROV) linked to a novel lineage were documented in the Amazon Region of Brazil. We report the introduction of this lineage into Colombia and its co-circulation with another OROV lineage. Continued surveillance is needed to prevent further spread of OROV in the Americas. ____

#Oropouche #Fever, #Cuba, May 2024, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/10/24-0900_article

Phylogenetic analyses showed that virus responsible for a May 2024 Oropouche fever #outbreak in Cuba was closely related to viruses from #Brazil in 2023. Pools of Ceratopogonidae spp. biting #midges and #Culex quinquefasciatus #mosquitoes were positive for Oropouche viral RNA. No cases were severe. Virus extension to new areas may increase case numbers and severity.

Public health authorities have assessed #risk to human #health in #Americas as very high, with a high risk of further spread. As of Aug 19, 24, #Brazil has reported 7653 cases, with authorities investigating potential vertical transmission in a few cases. In June, 24, a retrospective analysis detected IgM Abs in serum & CNS samples from 4 #newborns with #microcephaly.

#Clinicians and public health jurisdictions should be aware of the occurrence of Oropouche virus disease in U.S. travelers and request testing for suspected cases. Travelers should prevent insect bites when traveling, and pregnant persons should consider deferring travel to areas experiencing outbreaks of Oropouche virus disease.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10694129/oropouche-fever-sloths-insects-canadian-travel/ “An insect-transmitted virus.. is spreading at an “unprecedented” rate, with health officials warning that it is emerging in parts of the world, including Europe, where it has never been detected.

#Oropouche fever, a potentially fatal #zoonotic disease, is transmitted by tiny flies called #midges and #mosquitoes.. There is currently no vaccine for the virus, which is part of the same family of diseases as #Zika and #dengue fever.”

R to @ECDC_EU: The risk of human exposure to OROV in the EU/EEA is considered VERY LOW, despite the likely importation of further #OROV disease cases, as the competent vectors are absent from continental Europe.

We need to strengthen and speed up cooperation among health authorities at regional, national, and international levels and, more importantly, we should remain alert and open minded.

#Risk of event spreading: As of 30 July 24, 8,078 confirmed cases of OROV have been reported in 5 countries in Region of Americas: #Bolivia (n= 356), #Brazil (n= 7,284), #Colombia (n= 74), #Cuba (n= 74), & #Peru (n= 290). In Brazil, between epidemiological weeks (EW) 1 & 29 of 2024, 7,284 cases were confirmed, mainly in #Amazon region (76% of cases).

Our data shows that OROV can readily infect and replicate in non-human #primate #cells, supporting the role of non-human primates as important #reservoirs. Phylogenetic data supports a direct introduction of the same lineages causing the 2022-24 outbreak in Brazil from the #Amazonas state, the epicenter of the epidemics in Brazil.
