| Studies at Queensland Institute of Medical Research: | No antigenic relationship was detected by complement-fixation or neutralization tests between Ch9935 antigen or antiserum and the following arboviruses or suspected arboviruses isolated or available in Australia: Group A (Sindbis, Ross River, Getah, Bebaru); Group B (Murray Valley encephalitis, Kunjin, Kokobera, Edge Hill, Stratford, Alfuy, JBE, SLE, dengue types 1, 2, 3, and 4); Koongol group (Koongol, Wongal); Mapputta group (Mapputta, Trubanaman, MK7532); Quaranfil group (Abal); Simbu group (Akabane, Aino [Samford]); Corriparta group (Corriparta); Eubenangee group (Eubenangee); Others (Kowanyama, Almpiwar, Upolu, ephemeral fever, Belmont, Wallal, Charleville, Wongorr and Ngaingan). Relationship to Mitchell River virus (MRM10434 strain), first observed by the International Reference Centre, was confirmed: | | | Ch9935 Antigen | Ch9935 Immune Serum |

| Studies at International Reference Centre, Yale Arbovirus Unit: | Comparison by complement-fixation test with 24 solvent-resistant arboviruses [3] showed two Australian strains Ch9935 and MRM10434 were related to each other but distinct from others tested. | |
