"So far, Brazil has reported 11 fetal deaths, 3 spontaneous miscarriages, and 4 cases involving congenital anomalies." link;https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/oropouche-virus/oropouche-cases-americas-near-10000 or https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/oropouche-virus/oropouche-cases-americas-near-10000 ;Since its last update at the start of August, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in a new report said six countries in the Americas region have reported 1,774 more Oropouche virus cases, mostly from Brazil, Peru, and Cuba. In a new development, the Dominican Republic reported 33 cases from retrospective testing, making it the second-most affected country in the Caribbean subregion. In August, Canada and the United States each reported imported infections. Spread mainly by certain biting midges, the surge in Oropouche virus activity has raised concerns due to outbreaks well beyond the usual affected areas and reports of severe fetal outcomes, including deaths and congenital malformations. So far, Brazil has reported 11 fetal deaths, 3 spontaneous miscarriages, and 4 cases involving congenital anomalies, PAHO said.

Climate collapse may bring "Amazon-like conditions" to a wider area-so the area where the virus can be active gets larger. Also storms may transport infected insects to areas that do not normally see these kinds of virus.
