Oropouche Virus

The Oropouche virus (OROV) is a significant health concern in South and Central America, causing febrile illnesses similar to dengue fever. Despite its potential for widespread impact, there's a lack of effective treatments. A recent study, led by Marielena Vogel Saivish and colleagues, investigated acridones, a class of compounds, for their antiviral properties against OROV.
