Potential risks of Oropouche virus importation into Europe
Imported cases of Oropouche fever were recently detected in Italy. Upcoming mass events, i.e. the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the 2025 Jubilee in Rome, represent increasing likelihood of further OROV importation and potential spread in new areas, underscoring the importance of strengthening surveillance, laboratory capacity and ecology studies.
