Abstract
Summary
Boraceia virus, a new arbovirus isolated from Anopheles (K.) cruzii, is described. Serological cross-reactions between Boraceia and Anopheles B virus were demonstrated. It is proposed that these viruses form a new arbovirus antigenic group, the Anopheles B group.
The authors are indebted to Miss Amelia H. P. Andrade and Dr. Robert E. Shope for carrying out serological testing with SP Ar 395 at the Belem Virus Laboratory.
