| ISS Ph1.116 antigen did not react in CF test with the following immune ascitic fluids to the following phleboviruses: Toscana, Arbia, Punta Toro, Karimabad, Candiru, Chagres, Otaporanga, Icoaraci and Phlebotomus fever group, nor with a VSV group immune ascitic fluid. ISS Ph1.116 antigen and MIAF reacted with antigen and MIAF prepared against Yug Bogdanovac virus as follows: | | | ASCITIC FLUID |

| In the laboratory of the Arbovirus Reference Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases in Fort Collins, Colorado, ISS Ph1.116 was screened by indirect immunoflourescence tests with 89 rhabdoviruses and a weak one-way relationship was detected only with Yug Bogdanovac (antibody to Yug Bogdanovac reacted at 1:25 with ISS Ph1.116 infected cells; homologous titers being 400 and 1,600 for Yug Bogdanovac and ISS Ph1.116 respectively) [2] . The antigenic relationship by CF between the two viruses was as follows: | | | CF TITER OF ANTIBODY TO VIRUS |
