Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
In the initial studies by Casals [6] , Sindbis was found by the HI method to fall into serogroup A and to be most closely related to WEE. Since then a number of strains of viruses have been isolated in widely separated parts of the world that are either indistinguishable or very closely related to Sindbis virus and are regarded as strains of this virus [7] . These strains are SAAr-86 isolated in South Africa [8] , IA-1036 isolated in India [9] , MM-2215 isolated in Malaya [10] , P-886 isolated in the Philippines [11] , MRM-39 isolated in Australia [12] and MP-684 isolated in Uganda [13] .
As far as is known Sindbis is not related to any viruses not in Group A.
References on antigenic and serologic relation to other members of Group A are too numerous to include.
