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

An antigen prepared from Aruac virus failed to react in CF with the following mouse hyperimmune sera:



EEE	Spondweni	Chenuda (EgAr 1152)
WEE	Zika	Anopheles A
Semliki	Makonde	Wad Medani
Chikungunya	Ntaya	Turlock
Sindbis	Oriboca	Bwamba
Ilheus	Marituba	Rift Valley fever
St. Louis	Apeu	Simbu
Dengue	Catu	Mengo
Yellow fever	Guama	Lukuni
Rio Bravo	Bimiti	Triniti
JBE	SF Naples	Ieri
West Nile	Tacaiuma	Nepuyo
RSSE	Quaranfil (EgAr 1095)	Tacaribe
		GD VII

It was reported that a weak CF cross with Triniti and Ieri viruses has been observed [1] , but this could not be confirmed at TRVL nor by Downs [2] . It is, therefore, for the present listed as an ungrouped virus.

Aruac virus was shown to be related to an unregistered virus isolated in French Guyana [5] . The extent of the antigenic relation between these two viruses has not been defined. Therefore, provisionally, Aruac will continue to be listed as an ungrouped virus (ed.).
