Vertebrate (species and organ) and arthropod No. isolations/No. tested No. with antibody/No. tested Test used Country and region


Antibody reacting to Ross River virus appears to be widespread in mammals in Queensland but rare (and of doubtful significance) in birds (4,7,8). Group A antibody in sera from patients with epidemic polyarthritis react by HI and CF to RR more frequently and to higher titer than to Getah, Bebaru or Sindbis (1,2).
