Melao Virus, a New Agent Isolated from Trinidadian Mosquitoes*

L. Spence, C. R. Anderson, T. H. G. Aitken AND W. G. Downs
Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory, P.O. Box 164, Port of Spain, Trinidad, W.I.

A new arthropod-borne agent, Melao virus, was isolated from Aedes scapularis collected in a Trinidadian forest in 1955. The virus was shown to be related immunologically to California encephalitis virus. Some of the physical and biological properties of the virus are reported. Limited studies have not shown evidence of immunity to Melao in human beings or monkeys from Trinidad.


* The studies and observations upon which this paper is based were conducted with the support and under the auspices of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, the Colonial Development and Welfare Scheme, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
