Ribbon

There has been a significant increase in Oropouche infections reported in the Americas and the Caribbean. More than 7,000 cases have been reported since late 2023, with fatalities and birth defects documented for the first time.

She says with no vaccine available, the only way to prevent getting the infection is to avoid mosquito and midge bites.
