Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
Cocal virus has been shown by both CF and NT to be related to but not identical with the prototype strain of VS-Indiana [1] . The same tests failed to demonstrate relationship to VS-New Jersey. It appears to be identical with BeAr 39377 isolated in Belem, Brazil. For relationship to other strains of VS-Indiana see registration card.
Because of its antigenic relationship and similar size and shape to VS- Indiana, it has been placed in the VSV group [3] . As far as it is known, it is not related to any viruses not included in this group. For a list of those with which it has been compared, see Reference [1] .
