“…More than 1,500,000 people have been infected with OROV in the Amazon region of Brazil, since it was first described in Brazil in 1961. 6,11,[35][36][37][38] Since the original detection and description of OROV in Trinidad in 1955, 7 more than 30 outbreaks of Oropouche fever have been reported from Brazil, Peru, and Panama. 6,[35][36][37][38] Molecular studies, using sequence information for the genomic segments of OROV and other Simbu viruses, have provided a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology and evolution of viruses included in the OROV species and the Simbu virus serogroup.…”

“…3 Oropouche virus (OROV) is a species within the Simbu serogroup of the Orthobunyavirus genus, and it causes a febrile illness in humans characterized by headache, dizziness, weakness, myalgia, and arthralgia. [4][5][6] OROV was first isolated from a pool of Coquillettidia venezuelensis mosquitoes collected in Trinidad, 7 and later from Aedes (Ochlerotatus) serratus and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, 8 and frequently from the midge Culicoides paraensis in Brazil. 7,9,10 The virus has also been isolated from several wild mammals including a three-toed sloth, Bradypus tridactylus 11 and the marmoset, Callithrix penicillata (Nunes and others.…”

“…Most S. suis organisms isolated from diseased pigs belong to serotypes 1-8 (1). The most prevalent strain worldwide is serotype 2, which causes invasive infections in pigs and humans (2). We report a case of human meningitis caused by S. suis serotype 14.…”

“…O primeiro caso de febre de Oropouche foi descrito em Trinidad e Tobago em 1955: o vírus (cepa TRVL 9760) foi isolado do sangue de um residente febril de uma aldeia chamada Vega de Oropouche, a 3 milhas ao norte de Sangre Grande (ANDERSON et al, 1961). Outra cepa de OROV foi isolada de um pool de 177 mosquitos de Coquillettidia venezuelensis coletados em Bush Bush Forest, Nariva Swamp, Trinidad, em 18 de Outubro de 1960.…”
