Nepuyo virus, a new group C agent isolated in Trinidad and Brazil. II. Serological studies

ABSTRACT

Nepuyo virus, represented by one strain from Trinidad and five from Brazil, reacts by hemagglution-inhibition (HI), neutralization and complement-fixation (CF) testing with previously described group C types but is distinct from them. By HI and neutralization testing Nepuyo is most closely related to Murutucu virus, and by CF testing to Apeu and Marituba viruses. (AU)
