摘要

Since 2024, Cuba has suffered concurrent outbreaks of arboviruses, including Oropouche virus (OROV) and dengue virus. Here, to assess population-level susceptibility, 670 age- and sex-matched serum samples from La Habana were analysed, comparing age- and sex-matched pre-OROV outbreak (2020–2021) and post-OROV outbreak (2025) cohorts. OROV-specific IgG detection increased from 0.9% to 13.4%. Age-adjusted estimates suggested an overall seroprevalence of 16.7%, indicating that 2,257-fold more infections had occurred than were detected by early 2025. OROV seroprevalence declined with age, consistent with recent viral introduction into a naive population. By contrast, the detection rate of dengue-virus-specific IgG was high in both cohorts (63.3–78.5%). Detection of OROV-specific IgM in 1.8% of samples from 2025 confirmed ongoing transmission. Overall, these data indicate sustained co-circulation of multiple arboviruses in Cuba, underscoring the urgent need for surveillance and local vaccine development.
