Details are given regarding 28 isolations of Wyeomyia virus from mosquitoes collected in Trinidad during the period mid-1953 through mid-1966. No other island source, mammalian, avian, or reptilian, or other arthropod, has yielded the virus. The serum of eight of 30 Trinidad residents and one of 100 birds was protective in neutralization test, but it is not known whether these reactions are specific.
* The studies and observations on which this paper is based were conducted with the support and under the auspices of the Governments of Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Guyana, and the Eastern Caribbean Territories, the Department of Technical Cooperation of the United Kingdom Government, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
