Ecological Observations on Ilhéus Virus in the Vicinity of Almirante, Republic of Panama*

Enid de Rodaniche{dagger} AND Pedro Galindo{ddagger}

Isolation of Ilhéus virus is reported from pools of the mosquitoes Psorophora lutzii, P. ferox, Culex nigripalpus and Aedes angustivittatus and from serum of the Scarlet-rumped Tanager, Ramphocelus passerinii, all captured in the vicinity of Almirante, Province of Bocas del Toro, in Panama during 1960 and 1961. Also 14.8% of 236 birds, 1.2% of 255 lower mammals and 14.9% of 643 human beings were found to possess neutralizing antibodies against this viral agent. The significance of these results is discussed.
