CDC warns about oropouche virus

We've heard many warnings lately about mosquito-borne illnesses like the West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Now, the CDC is adding another name to that list. It's called the oropouche virus, named for the village in Trinidad where it was first identified in 1955. While all of the U.S. cases so far have been caught in other countries, there is concern that could change.
