Abstract
1. Coxsackie A6 virus was isolated in January 1963 from the circulating blood of four children in Suva, Fiji, suffering from fever, lymphadenitis and pharyngitis.2. Nine strains of the same agent were isolated from Aedes (Stegomyia) poly-nesiensis mosquitoes caught over a period of 2 weeks near or in a village situated among mangrove swamps at the mouth of the Rewa river, in January 1963.3. No virus was isolated from mosquitoes caught in Suva.4. A serological survey indicated that Coxsackie A6 infections are common and widespread in Fiji.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
