-- The Phlebotomus fever virus is an arbovirus transmitted to humans by the bits of hematofagous flies with limited flight range, which belong to the genus Phlebotomus, Sergentomyia and Lutzomyia. The human infection mainly occurs among people who work and live in the jungle. An inmunoenzimatic indirect assay (ELISA) was standardized in this thesis to detect antibodies IgG against the virus in human serum. This test was applied to determine the antibody seroprevalence against this virus in people coming from Iquitos. The positive case confirmation was performed using the Plaque Reduction for Neutralization Test (PRNT). The ELISA test was performed in four stages: the antigen fixation, reaction to the serum, addition to the conjugate and reaction to the substrate. During the antigen production, the cell line Vero E-6 was used, obtaining a work dilution of 1:1500. The conjugated used is a purified antibody peroxidase labeled goat antihuman IgG, obtaining a work dilution of 1:8000. Using the ELISA test, 400 sera from Iquitos were tested, resulting with a seroprevalence of 16.25%. When confirming the results with the PRNT trial, the ELISA test showed a specificity of 83.02% and a sensitivity of 98.24%. I concluded that the ELISA test developed for the Phlebotomus fever virus is applicable to perform prevalence studies.
