Abstract: Beginning in late 2023, Oropouche virus was identified as the cause of multiple outbreaks with over 10,000 cases from 6 countries reported in 2024 as of October 15. With these outbreaks, the virus was reported to cause disease cases in new non-endemic areas, result in the first reported deaths, be associated with fetal demise and congenital anomalies, and be found in the semen of an infected traveler. Although local transmission of the virus has not been detected yet in the United States, the vectors capable of transmitting the virus are present in many states and at least 90 cases of U.S. travelers returning to the United States while infected with the virus have been reported. All of these findings and factors, raise concerns about the broader threat this virus represents to the United States. There are numerous gaps in our understanding of this emerging virus, including the urgent need to evaluate the possibility of sexual transmission to inform prevention recommendations, especially for pregnant people and their partners, or those considering pregnancy.

Emergency Justfication: This is an emergency request for a new information collection for six months (180 days). This information is essential to CDC’s mission to protect America from health, safety, and security threats. The purpose of this investigation is to better define the risk factors, clinical course, viral shedding, and potential for sexual transmission among patients with Oropouche virus disease. The findings of this investigation will inform prevention guidance, improve clinical recognition and diagnosis, ultimately aiding our ability to detect and respond to Oropouche virus disease outbreaks. This information collection request (ICR) needs to go forward as an Emergency to avoid any delays in collecting essential actionable information in this rapidly evolving situation. Beginning in late 2023, Oropouche virus was identified as the cause of multiple outbreaks with over 10,000 cases from 6 countries reported in 2024 as of October 15. With these outbreaks, the virus was reported to cause disease cases in new non-endemic areas, result in the first reported deaths, be associated with fetal demise and congenital anomalies, and be found in the semen of an infected traveler. Although local transmission of the virus has not been detected yet in the United States, the vectors capable of transmitting the virus are present in many states and at least 90 cases of U.S. travelers returning to the United States while infected with the virus have been reported. All of these findings and factors, raise concerns about the broader threat this virus represents to the United States. There are numerous gaps in our understanding of this emerging virus, including the urgent need to evaluate the possibility of sexual transmission to inform prevention recommendations, especially for pregnant people and their partners, or those considering pregnancy.
