Abstract
Eight strains of a flavivirus identified as St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus were isolated from wild rodents, birds, and sentinel mice in three locations in the State of São Paulo, Brazil from 1967–1969. No illness attributable to SLE virus infection was detected among the local inhabitants, although about 5% of the local population had neutralizing antibodies to this virus.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
