In the course of studies in 1963-68 in Mexico, British Honduras, Honduras and Guatemala, strains of Patois virus were isolated from Culex iolambdis Dyar, C. thriambus Dyar and C. opisthopus Komp caught in 1963-65 at Sontecomapan, Veracruz, Mexico. Examples of the first two mosquitos were taken unengorged in light-traps and it seems likely that they were infected with the virus and not merely passive carriers of it.
