What are the vector species of the Oropouche virus?
Review in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Oropouche fever, caused by the arbovirus Oropouche virus (OROV; Peribunyaviridae: Orthobunyavirus:Orthobunyavirus oropouche), has significantly increased in Brazil, with >25 000 confirmed cases during the 2023-2025 outbreak. Historically endemic to the Amazon region, OROV is now spreading beyond its traditional range. The vectorial dynamics of OROV transmission remain under scrutiny. Although Culicoides paraensis is identified as the primary urban vector, the role of Culex quinquefasciatus and other culicids is still under debate, as laboratory studies indicate limited vector competence. Entomological investigations highlight the challenges of detecting OROV in nature, with low virus isolation rates from biting midges and mosquitoes. Vertical transmission in mosquitoes suggests potential alternative mechanisms for virus maintenance. Recent outbreaks in the Extra-Amazonian areas emphasize the importance of comprehensive vector studies to refine control strategies. This review synthesizes seven decades of research on OROV epidemiology and vector competence, identifying critical knowledge gaps, such as the definitive wild cycle vector, and we suggest a research agenda. Addressing these gaps is pivotal for preventing further geographical spread, reducing fatalities, and mitigating the public health impact of this emerging arbovirus. © 2025 The Author(s).
