Ukauwa virus now considered to be a strain of Bunyamwera [17] .
Immunity to this virus did not prevent, although it may have modified, infection in man with another virus of the same group [9] .
Cross-neutralization studies with 23 viruses of BUN serogroup have shown that BUN virus is distinct; it was placed in the BUN complex, one of five complexes comprising the BUN serogroup at that time [35] .
