What causes oropouche fever?
Oropouche virus is spread to people primarily by the bite of infected biting midges (a type of small fly) and mosquitoes. According to the CDC, the virus is transmitted in forested areas between mosquitoes and non-human vertebrate hosts such as birds, rodents and sloths, which is where its nickname is derived.
