ABSTRACT
Sixteen isolates were uncovered from bird sera and mosquitoes collected at Caymanas Estates, Jamaica. One of these isolates was St. Louis encephalitis virus, two isolates were not fully characterised and 13 belonged to a group that was, before now, not described in Jamaica. This group had similarities to the Coxsackie A viruses but showed no serological relationship to the Coxsackie viruses to which they were most similiar. These viruses were capable of infecting man, causing at least in some cases clinical illness and possibly may be responsible for some of the fevers of unknown origin in Jamaica. (AU)
