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

Related to bluetongue, epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer, Eubenangee viruses as follows [4] :

Results of CF Test
Antigens	Antibody
	Bluetongue Sheep serum	EHD Mouse AF	IbAr 22619 Mouse AF	Eubenangee	Pata Mouse AF


^* Antibody titer/antigen titer
Bluetongue	8/8 ^*	4/8	0/0	0/0	4/8
EHD	0/0	256/16	32/16	0/0	32/16
IbAr 22619	0/0	128/16	32/16	0/0	32/4
Eubenangee	0/0	8/4	4/4	32/16	16/4
Pata (DakAr B 1327)	0/0	16/16	4/4	0/0	512/64
VS-Indiana	0/0	0/0	0/0	0/0	0/0

Results indicate that DakArB 1327 is a hitherto undescribed virus strain related to Eubenangee and epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer viruses.

Hybridization and gene reassortment data indicate that Pata virus is not a member of the bluetongue or EHD serogroups; it should be assigned to the ungrouped set of orbiviruses. Minor antigens shared among members of the EHD serogroup, bluetongue and Pata viruses probably relfect their common ancestry [6] .
