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

See reference by Young and Johnson [2] . This basic reference (particularly Figure 3 of reference) shows differentiation of FE3-7C from various other geographic strains of VEE virus by the kinetic HI test. These authors show the known VEE strains to comprise a complex of closely related viruses, inseparable by common serological techniques. They have assigned various strains to four antigenic divisions, as shown below:

Antigenic Group	No. Isolates Studied	Representative Strains	Year Isolated	Country	Locality



IA	2	Beck-Wyckoff	1938	Venezuela	Goajira
		Trinidad donkey No.1	1943	Trinidad	Debe-Penal (S.W.)
IB	4	Ica	1946	Peru	Ica
		Pergamino	1958	Argentina	Buenos Aires Prov.
IC	33	P676	1963	Venezuela	Sotillo
		V-198	1962	Colombia	Goajira
ID	21	V-209A	1960	Colombia	Santander
		3880	1961	Panama	Canal Zone
IE	35	Mena II	1962	Panama	Almirante
		63A216	1963	Mexico	Veracruz
II	4	FE3-7C	1963	USA	South Florida
III	21	Mucambo (BeAn8)	1954	Brazil	Belem
		Paramaribo	1963	Surinam	Paramaribo

IV	4	Pixuna (BeAr 35645)	1961	Brazil	Near Belem
