Abstract
THE natural cycles of the majority of the arboviruses are unknown. Even with yellow fever virus—which belongs to Casals's Group B—where extensive investigations have shown the natural cycle to involve forest dwelling primates and mosquitoes, many workers think that there still remains at least one other as yet undiscovered cycle of virus maintenance.
