Keywords:
Oropuche, public health, epidemic, failed governments
Abstract
There is evidence that a new epidemic could occur, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. A letter to the editor is presented, proposing to open lines of research that will allow appropriate actions to be taken in the face of the new challenge.
