Oropush virus

The Oropush virus is a member of the ecological group of arboviruses, the antigenic group of which is Simbu. That is, it is not pathogenic for humans and does not pose a health hazard.

Oropush virus belongs to the family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus. It is a single-stranded RNA virus that is transmitted through the bite of insects such as mosquitoes and midges. It can cause various diseases in animals, including fever, hemorrhagic syndrome and encephalitis.

However, the Oropush virus is not dangerous to humans. Although it can be transmitted through insect bites, there is no evidence that it causes any disease in humans. There is also no evidence that the Oropush virus can be transmitted from person to person.

If you have been bitten by an insect that may have been infected with Oropouche virus, it is recommended that you see a doctor for advice and treatment. However, in most cases, the Oropouche virus does not cause any problems in people.



Oropush virus is one of the members of the ecological group of the viral family, arbovirus. This disease is a blood disease and is characterized by acute hemorrhagic syndrome, severe damage to the central nervous system and various organs.

Clinical manifestations of the oropus virus are varied and are determined depending on the severity of the disease and the age of the patient. Starting with fever with symptoms of poisoning, most often the disease occurs in the form of serous meningitis. Patients complain of fever (high body temperature) above 38C, joint pain, and a feeling of weakness. The presence of vesicular elements on the skin indicates the intensity of viremia. Then symptoms of meningitis develop - myalgia, intense headaches. Patients with Oropunsha are often bothered by symptoms of pneumonitis (hard breathing), uremia, and may have blurred vision. A specific sign of this form of the disease is rashes (hemorrhages) on the oral mucosa. After the serous form, signs of focal infection are observed. In the collaptoid form, high temperature can be replaced by a sharp drop; the vessels of the mucous membrane (possibly also internal organs) are affected. Subsequently, endocarditis occurs.

Treatment of oropusha is determined by the treatment of the underlying disease. Administration of specific antiviral serum or gamma
