Kadam virus was screened in HI and CF tests against a range of hyperimmune sera and it was shown to be a member of arbovirus group B. |
CF and HI tests with 11 group B arboviruses gave the following results: |

HI tests between Kadam and group B tick viruses of RSSE complex (Powassan and KFD) gave a titre of 1:10 only with 8 units of Kadam antigen. |
The following NT results were obtained when Kadam virus cross-tested with WSL and UGS viruses. |
