Abstract
A virus strain, An 4073, was isolated from blood of a sentinel howler monkey near Belem (Para), Brazil. By means of complement-fixation and hemagglutination-inhibition tests this strain was shown to be a member of Casals'' group B of the arthropod-borne viruses. Comparative studies gave evidence that this new agent could easily be distinguished serologically from 14 different group B viruses. In view of these results, it was concluded that the strain of virus studied constitutes a new, hitherto unreported arthropod-borne virus belonging in group B. The virus has been given the name Bussuquara.
