Abstract
Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arthropod-borne virus of the Peribunyaviridae family, transmitted to humans primarily
by Culicoides paraensis. It is one of the main arboviruses infecting humans in Brazil, primarily in the Amazon Region. Here,
we report the detection of OROV in the saliva and urine of a patient whose samples were collected five days after the onset of
symptoms. Nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic analysis further confirmed the results. To our knowledge, this is the first
study reporting the detection of OROV in the saliva and urine of an infected patient. In addition, the results of our study expand
the current knowledge pertaining to the natural history of Oropouche fever.
