Country and region
Antibody to the subgroup of group B which includes Murray Valley encephalitis, Kunjin and Alfuy, is common in north Queensland in man and other vertebrates, but identification of which of the three caused infection is often not possible. However, reactions interpreted as likely to indicate infection by Alfuy have been described in wild birds (1) and domestic fowl (2).
