| | | HI test: Mouse hyperimmunesera for Grand Arbaud tested against 8 units of each of the following antigens: Sindbis, chikungunya, yellow fever, West Nile, Saint Louis encephalitis, Ntaya, MVE, dengues 1 and 2, CEE, Bunyamwera, Tahyna, Sicilian SF, Naples SF. The serum diluted 1:10 failed to inhibit HA. | | CF test: The following hyperimmune sera or ascitic fluids were tested against Grand Arbaud antigen (strain 27) (homologous titer with mouse serum 64/32).* Group A, Group B, Group Bunyamwera, Group Phlebotomus fevers, West Nile, Tahyna, Nyamanini, Chenuda, Quaranfil, Hughes, Kemerovo, CTF, Silverwater, Kaisodi, Thogoto, Manawa, Ganjam, Bhanja, Wanowrie, Dugbe, Farallon, Soldado, Lanjan. All negative at 1:4 dilution. | | A mouse hyperimmune serum prepared with Grand Arbaud was tested against the following antigens [2] : Farallon, Chenuda, CTF, Qalyub, Hughes, Dugbe, Ganjam, Bhanja, Wanowrie, Kaisodi, Kemerovo, Johnston Atoll, Nyamanini, Lanjan, Matucare, Manawa, Bakau, Quaranfil, Silverwater, Soldado, Thogoto, Tribec, Uukuniemi and Wad Medani, reovirus 3, mouse polioencephalitis. | | The only positive reactions were as follows: | | | | | Serum |
|---|
| Antigen | Grand Arbaud | Uukuniemi (Potepli) |
|---|
|
| | * Serum titer/antigen titer | | Grand Arbaud | 256+/16+ * | 16/16+ | | Uukuniemi | 8/8 | 256+/16+ |
| | Grand Arbaud is related, but not identical to Uukuniemi [3] and Potepli [4] , and is also related to Ponteves, a virus isolated in the same area. | | |
