SIRACA has classified Anhembi virus as a distinct virus type and placed in the Wyeomia complex, one of four complexes comprising the BUN serogroup. The registered IACO virus and an unregistered virus from Belem, Brazil are considered to be subtypes of Anhembi viruses [2] .

An IFA cross-reaction has been demonstrated betweeen antibody to Anhembi virus and Hantaan or a Hantaan -related virus. This cross-reaction has not been observed in CF or NT; and it has been detected only in one direction as described above [3] , [4] .
