Summary
- 1. Two species of Brazilian howler monkeys were found to be highly susceptible to the Olímpio Cristo strain of yellow fever virus when transmitted by mosquito bite.
- 2. Four cyclic transmissions were obtained with A. scapularis and three with A. leucocelaenus.
- 3. The facility with which laboratory transmissions were obtained with A. scapularis suggests a possible explanation for the survival of virus in the winter months in south Brazil.
