[Isolation of the yellow fever virus from an egg-cluster and the larvae of the tick Amblyomma variegatum]. / Isolement du virus de la fièvre jaune à partir de la ponte et de larves d'une tique Amblyomma variegatum.

ABSTRACT

The yellow fever virus is isolated in natura from eggs of a Tick Amblyomma variegatum. It is then isolated from larvae issued from the same egg-cluster and also from blood of a monkey bitten by larvae of the same origin. It is reported that the same virus has been previously obtained from adults of the same species of Tick. An acarine appears for the first time as a sylvatic vector and reservoir (at least temporary) of yellow fever.
