The disease normally circulates in parts of South America , Central America and the Caribbean .
The main animal host of the virus is the pale-throated sloth ( Bradypus tridactylus) These sloths are thought to be a source of human infection transmitted by insect bites, and vice-versa.
Symptoms include sudden-onset fever, headache, joint stiffness, pain and chills.
There is not yet enough data to confirm that Oropuche is causing microcephaly .
Most public health advice is currently centered around preventing insect bites while traveling to areas where the virus spreads.
