254 pools of 4,115 mosquito larvae belonging to nine species were examined by isolation experiments. The larvae were collected in breeding places in an inundated forest--a natural focus of Tahyna virus, in April, June and July 1974 and 1975. Tahyna virus was isolated from one pool of 10 Culiseta annulata larvae collected in July 1974. Ecological questions concerning this finding are discussed.
