Remarks
In the first registration of Quaranfil, information on the isolation of a strain from the blood of a child was given as this was the first isolation of this virus. But this was not identified until some time after the isolation of the virus from ticks. As most of the laboratory work at NAMRU-3 was done on Ar-1113, this strain is designated as the prototype (2) and its source and isolation recorded in this reregistration. However, another strain (Ar-1095) which was indeed the first strain isolated from A. arboreus and initially sent to Casals at RFVL has been used by him as the prototype of Quaranfil in his studies. Ar-1113 and Ar-1095 appear to be antigenically identical.
