- Dengue and Oropouche virus co-infection in a traveller from Cuba to PortugalPublication . Zé-Zé, Líbia; Laranjinha, Joana; Borges, Vítor; Graça, Ana Luísa; Sobral, Daniel; Santos, João Dourado; Carvalho, Ana Cláudia; Faria, Nuno R.; Gomes, João Paulo; Alves, Maria JoãoIn 2024, unprecedented outbreaks of dengue and Oropouche were reported in the Americas.
