Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses



1.	Initial studies at QIMR Brisbane detected no relationship to 36 viruses isolated in Australia and New Guinea.
2.	Studies by Dr. Andrew J. Main Jr. at Yale Arbovirus Research Unit, New Haven, Conn., U.S.A. showed antigenic relationship to members of the Kemerovo group, but not to some 200 other arboviruses. Cross-complement fixation and neutralization tests with memebers of the Kemerovo group showed:
