Tamiami Virus, a New Member of the Tacaribe Group
Nine strains of a new virus have been isolated from wild cotton rats collected in south Florida. The virus, for which the name Tamiami is suggested, was characterized by its sensitivity to sodium deoxycholate, its thermolability, the extended survival time of fatally infected mice, and isolation from Cricetine rodents. Antigenically, the virus was found to be related to the Tacaribe group of viruses.
