Oropouche virus (OROV), an emerging arbovirus, poses a significant public health challenge in tropical and subtropical regions, with no licensed vaccines or antiviral therapies currently available. This review explores recent advancements in therapeutic strategies and vaccine development for OROV, focusing on molecular mechanisms of viral replication, identification of potential antiviral targets, and the role of immunotherapy in managing infections. Promising antiviral candidates, including ribavirin, mycophenolic acid, and interferon, have demonstrated efficacy in in vitro studies, offering a foundation for further investigation. The challenges of preclinical and clinical development, such as high mutation rates, immune response variability, and vaccine delivery hurdles, are critically analyzed. By addressing the progress and remaining gaps, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview to inform future research and facilitate the development of effective antiviral strategies and vaccines for OROV.
