Spatiotemporal Epidemiology of Oropouche Fever, Brazil, 2015–2024

Abstract

We assessed the spatiotemporal dynamics of Oropouche fever in Brazil during 2015–2024. We found the number of cases substantially increased during that period, particularly in the Amazon region. Our findings underscore the need for improved surveillance and public health measures in response to the disease’s potential spread beyond endemic areas.
