Show abstract
This report details the first detection of the Oropouche virus (OROV) in Culicoides insignis in the Ucayali region (Peruvian Amazon) during an outbreak study in 2024. Captures conducted in peri-urban and rural areas showed that C. insignis accounted for 96.7% of the collected Culicoides specimens. RT-qPCR testing confirmed the presence of the virus in two C. insignis pools, establishing this species as a potential OROV vector in the study area, thereby contributing to the understanding of the viruss epidemiology in the Amazon region.
