Remarks
This strain (Ar 370) was apparently lost in 1956 before it was adequately compared with other arboviruses, but was revived by H.R. Dressler in 1967 from ampules that had been sent to Naval Research Institute in Bethesda. It was with this recovered strain that the more complete antigenic comparison with other arboviruses was made. Further studies on transmission by ticks should be made before it is definitely accepted as an arbovirus, but its antigenic relation to Bandia virus, isolated on several occasions from Ornithodoros ticks as well as from rodents in West Africa, suggests that both of these viruses may be transmitted by ticks.
