Resumo

Icoaraci, a newly recognized virus, has been isolated on 8 occasions from forest rodents captured near Belém, Pará, Brazil. At least 7 of the isolations were from Proechimys guyannensis oris. The virus is related to Naples phlebotomus fever virus by hemagglutination-inhibition testing. Hemag-glutination-inhibiting antibody to Icoaraci virus is prevalent in small forest animals but has not been found in human inhabitants of Belém.
