Alenquer virus (ALEV) is a serotype of Candiru virus in the genus Phlebovirus.[1] 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.[2] Sporadic cases of febrile illness have occurred in humans who live in jungle areas in Brazil and Panama.[3] Alenquer virus was included in the Control of Communicable Diseases Manual from the 14th (1985) through the 17th (2000) editions.
