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

Aino virus is a member of the Simbu group as shown by CF results. CF relationship demonstrated as follows:

NT studies conducted in Japan have indicated that Samford is antigenically identical to Aino virus [7] .

Studies published in 1981 indicate that Aino virus is a member of the Simbu complex by NT. Results also indicated that Kaikalur virus was at least a variety of Aino virus [8] .
