Nas florestas e cidades do Brasil, um vírus antigo ressurge com força renovada: a febre do oropouche, transmitida por mosquitos e conhecida desde 1960 na Amazônia, já acumula 5.102 casos confirmados em 2024. A doença percorre dois mundos — o das preguiças e macacos nas matas, e o dos seres humanos nas cidades — lembrando que a fronteira entre o selvagem e o urbano é mais porosa do que imaginamos. Sem tratamento antiviral específico, a resposta depende da vigilância coletiva, da prevenção individual e da velocidade com que cada caso suspeito chega ao conhecimento das autoridades.
