We describe 5 cases of human Oropouche virus infection detected in rural Venezuela in 2025. All isolates belonged to the OROVBr2015-2024 reassortant lineage linked to the 2024-2025 epidemic. Our results emphasize ongoing transmission, which highlights the need for strengthened surveillance and laboratory capacity in South America.
