Resumo

Three strains of Ilhéus virus were isolated from human beings in Trinidad. One of these isolations was made from a female resident of Port-of-Spain who suffered a severe febrile illness. The other two strains were isolated from mosquito catchers who worked in the forests of eastern Trinidad. One of these men had a mild febrile illness at the time of the isolation, and the other was in good health. The serological reactions in these three cases of Ilhéus infection are reported.
