The Centers for Disease Control Aug. 16 issued an advisory to clinicians and public health officials warning of increased Oropouche virus disease, which insects like mosquitos transmit. More than 8,000 cases have been reported since Jan. 1.

The advisory also cautions of the possible risk of vertical transmission and other adverse effects on pregnancy.
