| | | Cache Valley virus has been placed in a group designated Bunyamwera which includes Wyeomyia, Kairi [3] , Ilesha, Germiston, Batai, Calovo, Maguari, Tensaw [4] and Lokern viruses. For tabulated data on the antigenic relationship of these viruses, see References [3] and [4] and registration cards in the Catalogue of above named viruses. | | Maguari virus (BeAr 7272) was originally reported as Cache Valley [5] , but is now regarded as a closely related, but distinct virus. In addition, it is now believed that strains isolated in Trinidad and reported as Cache Valley [2] are more closely related to Maguari. It is possible that a more careful study of the strains recently reported from Jamaica [7] may show that they are more closely related to Maguari. | | SIRACA has antigenically classified Cache Valley virus and placed it in the Bunyamwera complex of the Bunyamwera serogroup. Maguari and Playas virus were classified as subtypes and Tlacotalpan virus as a variety of Cache Valley virus [15] . | | |
