What is sloth fever? The Oropouche virus and its symptoms, explained.

The Oropouche virus, a potentially fatal disease also referred to as "sloth fever," has made its way to the United States, prompting questions about what Americans should know. 

On Tuesday, Florida's health department reported 30 cases of Oropouche fever in the state, all linked to travel from Cuba. There has also been one case reported in New York following travel.

In an update Tuesday, the CDC said at least three of the initial cases reported in the U.S. were hospitalized and that the agency is "currently developing a plan for rapid detection and response" to the virus.
