OROV transmission cycles as currently understood. In the sylvatic cycle, an arthropod vector takes a bloodmeal from a viremic vertebrate animal host to maintain the zoonotic cycle. Mosquitoes have been suggested as possible enzootic vectors and/or bridge vectors. Conversely, Culicoides paraenesis has been identified as the primary enzootic vector whereby the virus is maintained between humans and midges.
