Biting midges are small flies, often called “no-see-ums.” It can also be spread by some mosquitoes.</p> <p>A recent <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/12/24-1470_article">scientific report</a> describes the first time Oropouche virus was found in semen of a patient who had Oropouche, which raises concern about the possible risk of sexual transmission. Other viruses (like Zika and Ebola viruses) in semen have been associated with sexual transmission of other infectious diseases. Experts do not know if people infected with Oropouche virus can spread the virus through sex.
