The flavivirus are distributed in major tropical areas around the world, our Amazonia is endemic to viruses such as dengue, but also houses many others which have not yet been studied. The aim was to evaluate the presence of neutralizing antibodies against Rocio, Ilheus and West Niles viruses using the technique of ELISA as screening for the detection of positive samples and the microneutralization as confirmatory test. Were analyzed a total of 400 sera by Elisa IgG from people in convalescent phase of the city of Iquitos during the years 2003 - 2007. 152 were negative and 248 were positive by Elisa IgG, of which was confirmed by microneutralization 23 sera positive for the virus Ilheus and 7 sera positive for the virus Rocio. The value of cross-reactivity for the ELISA was 87%. The results indicate the existence of neutralizing antibodies against the Ilheus virus in 5.75% of the sera analyzed and the presence of neutralizing antibodies against the Rocio virus in 1.75% of the sera. Fortunately the presence of these viruses in the city of Iquitos is not significant compared to that observed for the dengue virus (34.7%).
