There have been more than 8,000 confirmed human infections in the Americas so far this year , most of them in Brazil .

Cases of Oropouche infection have been identified in people who have travelled to the US , Spain , Italy and Germany from Brazil and Cuba , including 20 travelers from Cuba to the U.S ..

This suggests an association, but because of the study’s limitations, it wasn’t possible to establish a causal relationship between infection during intrauterine life and the neurological malformations.

But it was able to establish proof of mother-to-child transmission in cases of fetal and newborn death.
