Other members of this complex were Simbu, Akabane, Yaba-7, Shamonda, Sabo, Sango, Peaton, Aino, Shuni, Kaikalur, Sathuperi, and Douglas viruses. | | Neutralization testing demonstrated that Tinaroo virus was most closely related to Sabo virus although the viruses were differentiated both ways [2] . | | Results of serum dilution plaque-reduction neutralization tests [2] : | | | | Titer of antibody to: |
