Antibodies produced during Ilheus virus (ILHV) infection cross-react in serologic assays to other flavivirus antigens, and ILHV was originally classified in the Japanese encephalitis antigenic complex [1,2,3]
Since the first isolation of ILHV from a pool of Aedes spp. and Psorophora spp. mosquitoes collected in 1944 at Ilheus City, on the eastern coast of Brazil [4], isolates have been obtained in Central and South America and Trinidad, primarily from Psorophora ferox mosquitoes [5,6]
