The isolation and laboratory studies of an unidentified virus isolated from a howler monkey in Trinidad, W. I., have been described. The virus has been named "Manzanilla virus" after the region from which it was obtained. The absence of virus-neutralizing antibodies from the sera of a number of forest workers would seem to indicate that this virus probably is not a frequent cause of infection in man.
* The studies and observations upon which this paper is based were conducted by the Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory with the support and under the auspices of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, the Colonial Development and Welfare Scheme and The Rockefeller Foundation.
