Unrelated to 47 African arboviruses, Congo and herpes simplex viruses [3] .
In cross-CF tests, AMT hamster hyperimmune serum (homologous titer = 512) did not react with antigens of 20 other viruses of the PHL group. AMT antigen reacted in low titer against ICO antiserum (titer = 32) but not with antisera of other members (lowest dilution tested 1:4).
AMT (homologous titer 64) did not react at 1:16 serum dilution in cross-plaque neutralization tests using 20 heterologous PHL viruses and hamster hyperimmune sera [6] .
