We describe two cases of Oropouche fever in travellers from Brazil, late March 2024, and from Cuba, July 2024. The Oropouche virus was carried outside the Americas before the Cuba outbreak, requiring screening in febrile travellers from Latin America. Studies on possible vectors and reservoirs in new areas should be implemented.

Abstract

We describe two cases of Oropouche fever in travellers from Brazil, late March 2024, and from Cuba, July 2024. The Oropouche virus was carried outside the Americas before the Cuba outbreak, requiring screening in febrile travellers from Latin America. Studies on possible vectors and reservoirs in new areas should be implemented.
