Section V - Antigenic Relationship and Lack of Relationship to Other Viruses
As there are at least nine immunologically distinct types ( [13] ) these are grouped under the designation "African horsesickness".
So far no serologic relation with other viruses has been demonstrated.
The neutralization and HI tests ( [10] ) are relatively specific; the CF test ( [20] ) is group-reactive. Some strains which cross-neutralize in mice are not cross-protective in horses ( [13] ).
