Nepuyo Virus, A New Group C Agent Isolated in Trinidad and Brazil

II. Srological Studies

The Belém Virus Laboratory of the Instituto Evandro Chagas, Belém, Brazil, and The Rockefeller Foundation Virus Laboratories, New York

Nepuyo virus, represented by one strain from Trinidad and five from Brazil, reacts by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI), neutralization and complement-fixation (CF) testing with previously described group C types but is distinct from them. By HI and neutralization testing Nepuyo is most closely related to Murutucu virus, and by CF testing to Apeu and Marituba viruses.
