The Isolation of Ilhéus Virus from Wild Caught Forest Mosquitoes in Trinidad1

C. R. Anderson, T. H. G. Aitken AND W. G. Downs
The Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, British West Indies

Two strains of virus, isolated in 1954 from forest mosquitoes in Trinidad, B.W.I., have been shown by reciprocal cross-neutralization tests to be strains of Ilhéus virus. Both strains produce a hemagglutinating antigen, similar in reactivity to the antigen produced from the known Ilhéus strain. These isolations represent the second and third times the virus has been found in nature.


1 The studies and observations which this paper is based upon 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.
