Abstract

Seven viruses were isolated from sentinel mice, exposed in forested area in the Atlantic Forest region, State of São Paulo, Brazil, from 1974 to 1981. They included five isolates of Maguari, one of Kairi and one of Tucunduba. It was the first time that these viruses were detected in São Paulo State. The isolates were identified by the serological tests: Hemagglutination, Hemagglutination Inhibition, Complement Fixation and Neutralization in suckling mice. The results showed that these viruses belong to Bunyamwera serogroup. As there are reports of human disease caused by viruses belonging to this serogroup further studies are necessary to study ecological aspects involved in the maintenance cyc1es of these viruses, as well as the possibility of its transmission to human beings in State of São Paulo, Brazil.
