Abstract
Summary Isolation of a new entity, Tacaribe virus, from Artibeus bats and from mosquitoes, in Trinidad, is described. The agent is pathogenic for baby and adult mice and is inactivated by incubation with sodium desoxycholate. It is proposed for inclusion in the group of arthropod-borne viruses.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
