| In addition, DakArB 2053 antigen failed to react with the following immune fluids: | Group B; | Entebbe bat, Montana Myotis leukoencephalitis, dengue 1, 2, 3, 4, Th Sman, TH-36. | Simbu; | Sango, Shamonda, Sabo, Shuni, Sathuperi. | California; | Group serum. | Tete; | Tete, Matruh. | EHD-NJ; | IbAr 22619. | Matariya; | Matariya, Burg el Arab. | Corriparta; | Acado. | VSV; | Chandipura (IbAn 9978). | Phlebotomus fever; | Group serum, Arumowot (IbAn 15736). | Kaisodi-Qalyub-Quaranfil; | Group serum (Johnston Atoll, Kaisodi, Bandia,Silverwater, Quaranfil, Lanjan, Qalyub). | Uukuniemi; | Grand Arbaud, Ponteves, EgAn 1825. | Congo; | Congo. | Bluetongue; | Type 7 (IbAn 22703), type 10 (IbAr 22618). | Others; | SudAr 1275/64, Abadina (IbAr 22388), kotonkan, Oyo (IbAn 2898),IbAn 17143, Lagos bat, Mount Elgon bat, IbAn 33709, IbAn 28946, SAAn4511. | Nonarbovirus; | LCM, rabies, Mokola and IbH 29777 (related to rabies), IbAn 20433 (NDV). |
| Results indicate that DakArB 2053 is apparently a new virus. | Following the observation that Bangoran virus possessed rhabdovirus morphology [4] , it was shown to share an antigenic relationship with members of the Mossuril serogroup [5] . | |
