A
Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
 
Mayaro virus falls into Group A. For details on relationship to a number of other viruses in this group see [4] , [20] - [24] . Among those to which it was compared, it resembles Semliki Forest virus most closely. By HI, Casals [10] found Uruma indistinguishable from Mayaro. However, Schmidt, et al. [11] found differences by both HI and CF between Mayaro and Uruma and regarded them as distinct viruses.
NOTE: Uruma virus is now considered to be a strain of the Mayaro virus, and its registrations has been withdrawn [19] .
SIRACA has antigenically classified Mayaro virus and placed it in the Semliki Forest complex of serogroup A. Una virus was classified as a subtype of Mayaro virus [24] .
