Mayaro Virus: A New Human Disease Agent

II. Isolation from Blood of Patients in Trinidad, B.W.I.¹

A new agent, named Mayaro virus, was isolated from the blood of five human beings in Trinidad, B.W.I., during August and September of 1954. The disease was a mild to moderately severe febrile illness of short duration. The virus was pathogenic for infant mice but not for adult mice on intracerebral inoculation.

¹ The studies and observations on which this paper is based were conducted with the support and under the auspices of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, the Colonial Research and Development Scheme, and The Rockefeller Foundation.
