The 2023-24 epidemic of Oropouche fever in the Region of the Americas suggests a potential change in the epidemiology of the disease, raising questions about which vectors are driving transmission.

Only seven studies were published by September 2024, highlighting the chronic neglect that OROV has been subjected to since its discovery in 1954.
