Alenquer virus
Alenquer virus (ALEV) is a serotype of Candiru virus in the genus Phlebovirus. This New World phlebovirus was one of eight new arboviruses isolated in the early 1980s from sites along roads built into the Amazon rainforest in Brazil for settlers. Sporadic cases of febrile illness have occurred in humans who live in jungle areas in Brazil and Panama. Alenquer virus was included in the Control of Communicable Diseases Manual from the 14th (1985) through the 17th (2000) editions.
