• Reemergence of Oropouche Virus in the Americas and Risk for Spread in the United States and Its Territories, 2024
  S. J. Guagliardo et al. View Abstract

  Oropouche virus has recently caused outbreaks in South America and the Caribbean, expanding into areas to which the virus was previously not endemic. This geographic range expansion, in conjunction with the identification of vertical transmission and reports of deaths, has raised concerns about the broader threat this virus represents to the Americas. We review information on Oropouche virus, factors influencing its spread, transmission risk in the United States, and current status of public health response tools. On the basis of available data, the risk for sustained local transmission in the continental United States is considered low because of differences in vector ecology and in human–vector interactions when compared with Oropouche virus–endemic areas. However, more information is needed about the drivers for the current outbreak to clarify the risk for further expansion of this virus. Timely detection and control of this emerging pathogen should be prioritized to mitigate disease burden and stop its spread.

• Emerging Monkeypox Virus Sublineage C.1 Causing Community Transmission, Vietnam, 2023
  H. Hoa et al. View Abstract

  We studied a community cluster of 25 mpox cases in Vietnam caused by emerging monkeypox virus sublineage C.1 and imported into Vietnam through 2 independent events; 1 major cluster carried a novel APOBEC3-like mutation. Three patients died; all had advanced HIV co-infection. Viral evolution and its potential consequences should be closely monitored.

• Fatal Oropouche Virus Infections in Nonendemic Region, Brazil, 2024
  A. Bandeira et al. View Abstract

  We report acute Oropouche virus infections in 2 previously healthy women from a nonendemic region of Brazil outside the Amazon Basin. Infections rapidly progressed to hemorrhagic manifestations and fatal outcomes in 4–5 days. These cases highlight the critical need for enhanced surveillance to clarify epidemiology of this neglected disease.

  We used cross-sectional data from 226 patients with monkeypox virus to investigate the association between anatomic exposure site and lesion development. Penile, anorectal, and oral exposures predicted lesion presence at correlating anatomic sites. Exposure site also predicted the first lesion site of the penis and anus.

  We traced back a nationwide outbreak of human listeriosis in Switzerland to a persisting production line contamination of a factory producing baker’s yeast with Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1/2a sequence type 3141. We used whole-genome sequencing to match clinical isolates to isolates from product samples.
