Isolation of a new entity, Tacaribe virus, from Artibeus bats and from mosquitoes, in Trinidad, is described. The agent is pathogenic for infant and adult mice and is inactivated by incubation with sodium desoxycholate. It is proposed for inclusion in the group of arthropod-borne viruses. Complement-fixation studies indicate that Tacaribe virus is related to the virus of Argentinian hemorrhagic fever (Junin virus).
