Arbovirus Studies in Sao Paulo, Brazil

摘要

Collections of birds, animals, and human sera were studied, isolating and screening the viruses detected. A few new, or new isolations in the study area were sent to the Yale Arbovirus Laboratory for final identification or characterization. Isolations were also made from pooled mosquitos collected in the forest, outside of houses, and inside of houses. Continued difficulty was experienced in obtaining specimens from ill inhabitants reticent to report illness. Evidence continues to indicate transmission from forest reservoirs into houses by wild mosquitoes. Five tables of data are included. (Author)
